From 01:07 it becomes scenes from Melbourne. Sydney didn't have W-class trams.

interesting video. There are scenes of trams both in Sydney and Melbourne included here.

I agree the opening shot is of Kings Cross fire station in Sydney; however every landscape after that is of Melbourne, Collins St , Elizabeth St and Swanston St. Note in particular the trams (not the Sydney design), 1:23 the Flinders St Station clock , 1:15 is 82 Collins St cnr of Swanston st, and 1:50 the Melbourne Manchester Unity building, 2:44 is the Bank of Australasia cnr Collins and Queen Sts - the tree is still there but a lot bigger, 3:03 is definitely The Australian Club 110 Williams St Melbourne, all of which are still standing.

Wow. My Mum and Dad could be in these shots. But some of the cars look a bit newer than 45.

They would think we were absolutely insane to rip out the Trams and let the City descend into awful car dependency and sprawl for sure.
