Tramlines Route 59: School Days Past

Sharmini Kumar / Broadwave (AU 2023)

34 min

A woman has taken her 12 year old daughter for high school orientation at a school near Essendon train station. As they take the tram home (towards Airport West), the mother tells her daughter about her own high school days, the memories she has of catching the tram, of meeting boys at the Airport West shopping centre, and her experiences of high school.

Thiis has been written and produced to be listened to on the Melbourne Tramline and specifically Route 59, but can of course be enjoyed anywhere with a little imagination.
