Alright, three tram entries in three days, that's a bit excessive. But this is the last one. It's also probably a bit more interesting than yesterday's entry, which was wildly nerdy even by my standards, and has some non-tram related Melbourne shots. All of the photos were taken between 3pm and 4:30pm on 9 January 2008.

OK, I normally keep my utter hatred of Harry Potter to myself (especially considering I'm outnumbered about Everyone to 2 on the friends list), but for goodness' bloody sakes, a movie preview is not deserving of being on the news, and definitely not deserving of being on one of those 15-second headline update segments they play during ad breaks!
