The trams have just crossed Lang Rd, heading south. You can see the hoardings of the Showground in the background.

A later incarnation of the kiosk was known as the Colonial Diner.

Yes, it was a great picture, as much for the kiosk as the tram.

The trams survived but the kiosk didn't. It would have been nice to have recreated that, instead of that stupid oversize toll plaza there now.
