The women would be at home. They were, until the late 1960 virtually slaves :(

There is a girl dressed in white on the left of the photo leaning forwards and looking at the photographer. And if you look closely she is wearing a black wide rimmed hat.There is also a lady in the rear tram with black wide rimmed hat just to the left of the driver-conductor who looks as if he leaving the tram.

Thanks for sharing those old photos Anna.

South Australia still has a horse drawn tram and for the life of me I can't remember where it was. nCarol went there a few years ago with the elite bowling club which was formed a number of years ago to encourage handicapped people to take up sport.

PS.
I used Google and found its name is Victor Harbour where the only horse drawn tram in the world still operates.

Did you agree with my pointing out what I believe to be two fair members of the opposie s ex. I just edited it because I believe that they are both wearing wide rimmed hats.
