Leonora was a small mining town about 235 kilometres to the north of Kalgoorlie. The tramway was sparked in 1908. Closed 1921.
Amazing ...
The Leonora electric tram in original condition. Power station burnt down in 1915 electric tram service ceased. It was replaced by a petrol-driven motor tram.

This belongs in the Ripley's Believe It or Not class! 😮
Big day in Leonora! This was probably the first run of the steam tram c. 1903 as it appears the town has turned out.
