The VR class trams were purchased from the Victorian Railways after the closure of the St Kilda to Brghtontramway in 1959
During the late 1960's and early 1970's, there was an effort to standardise the types of trams in service to economise on maintenance costs, simplify drivers tasks, and ensure standardisation for passengers.
The other two VR class trams, 52 and 53 were upgraded and converted to standard gauge tramcar operation; however 54 was not converted and is seen here with its somewhat faded VR colour scheme.

The first tramwalker foray into the south-eastern suburbs on one of the eight tram routes that travel south down Swanston St and St Kilda Rd (the No 1 to South Melbourne Beach doesn’t really count).
At the Hawthorn Rd corner the No 3 overlaps with the city-bound No 16 tram (from Kew via St Kilda) and intersects with the No 64 (East Brighton to city).
I would have walked farther, but I’m sort of working (walking) at drawing all the southern routes together at the same time.
