The story of Victoria's provincial tramway systems at Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong have never been told before in such detail in one book. It is the largest and most extensively researched work ever produced on the subject. Last Tram at 11 rolls through the stories of the several companies that provided tramway services with battery, steam and electric trams in Bendigo, horse and electric trams in Ballarat, and electric trams in Geelong. The individual story for each city is then brought together with the transfer of the three systems to the State Electricity Commission. It is the story of tramway transport in those cities and the politics, public demand and economics that pursued the services through the 1930s depression, the war years and the age of the private motor car ownership.
