Aftermath
oil
This painting depicts the aftermath of the Brisbane Paddington tramway depot fire of 28th September 1962 in which 65 trams were destroyed.
The blaze was caused by a combustible collection of grease and oil stored in a pit underneath the depot which had built up over time.
Approximately 20% of Brisbane's city tram fleet was obliterated which was estimated to have cost Brisbane City 500,000 pounds or approximately $1,000,000 today
