Ballarat 'Begonia Festival' car No. 21 - 1969, in colour

My hand *coloured (if you want to use it please credit me and link to this description) version of an old photograph of Ballarat tram No. 21 decorated as a paddle boat for the 1969 'Begonia Festival'.

The original BnW photograph is here:-
flic.kr/p/2p7XJn2

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

There are some colour photos of this decorated car online taken by 'Richard Jones', I used his photos to get the correct colours when colouring this photograph.

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."

* My hand (not machine AI) coloured images are more sketch or watercolour like than colour transparency or print like. They are an impression of that subject and period, rather than an accurate representation of how the image/subject actually looked when the photo was taken.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.

📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷
