Clang Clang Clang A Study Of Melbourne's Tramways

Transport & Engineering History Australiana

Clang Clang Clang: A Study of Melbourne's Tramways by Marc Fiddian is the go-to illustrated paperback for anyone hooked on Australian transportation history. In just 92 pages this 1993 vintage textbook traces the city's famous trams from clanging horse-drawn cars to today's electric fleet, making it an ideal quick reference for young adults, railfans and transport tech students alike.

The generously illustrated pages capture Melbourne's evolving streetscape and the true stories of the people who kept the network moving. Fiddian's concise, authoritative style turns technical detail and biographical snippets into an engaging ride through Australia's commuter past without ever feeling heavy.

This used copy shows gentle signs of shelf time: light scuffing to the cover, a soft corner crease that carries through the first dozen pages, and a tiny mark on an early leaf, but the binding remains tight and smoke-free. It's ready to slide straight onto a collector's shelf or accompany a daily commute for nostalgic reading.

Collectors searching for Melbourne tram history books, Australian transport titles, or signed Marc Fiddian volumes will appreciate both its rarity and accessible price point. Grab this copy today and let the familiar clang of Melbourne's past echo through your personal library.
