Books
Mornington's Marvellous Cable Trams In the 1950s, Hugh Ballment visited Dunedin with a camera and colour film, and recorded many scenes of the daily operation of the High Street line. He has now put these together in a small book, and this is one of the best records of the cable car operation in its final years. The price is $50, with postage and packing at $5.50 (within NZ). Orders may be placed with the Dunedin Heritage Light Rail Trust, at this email: kjemmett@xtra.co.nz or, you can purchase at the Cable Car House in Mornington. |

Mind the Curve, A History of the [Melbourne] Cable Trams An interesting parallel across the Tasman; Melbourne's cable trams in the early 20th century may have equalled, or even surpassed, those of San Francisco, in the extent of the system. Our George Duncan gets an honourable mention. $15 if you also buy the Ballment book. |
We have a 2020 calendar, each month having an historic or a current picture relating to the High Street cable cars. These are sold on site, at $20 each. |
