Ballarat 'Begonia Festival' car No. 21 - 1969

An old photograph of Ballarat tram No. 21 decorated as a paddle boat for the 1969 'Begonia Festival'.

A version hand (not AI) coloured by me is here:-
flic.kr/p/2p7XJnc

The photo reverse is annotated with the photographer and negative owner initials 'ADP' (A. D. Packer).

The tram lower front shows 'Begonia Festival Feb 28th - Mar 10th', the side shows 'Ballarat Begonia Festival Feb 28th - Mar 10th 1969', 'Festival Showboat', and 'Wave Upon Wave Of Festive Activities'. The destination blind shows 'Lydiard St Nth'.

There is a No. 21 at the Tramway Museum, St. Kilda, which I think is the same one.
"On display. Was MTT Type A car number 10 before it was sold to the State Electricity Commission of Victoria for service in Ballarat, in whose livery it has been conserved."
