sixcyl ◊ 2025-06-28 23:42	“Schley Ride to the South Pacific” is a color travelog by filmmaker Norman E. Schley as he embarks on a tour of countries in the South Pacific: French Polynesia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and the Hawaiian Islands. This film was made in two parts and this particular installment highlights Schley’s time in Tahiti, Bora Bora, Melbourne, and Sydney. Note: this film is silent, but originally may have had a soundtrack, or alternatively would have been screened with accompanying live narration by the filmmaker. The film has two parts: Part 1: Tahiti, Bora Bora, Sydney, Melbourne. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyGTJ8tn0ko Part 2: Wellington, Fiji, Hawaii Islands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAUrqWJUC10

Background vehicles: Road Signs: Tramway of Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board: M&MTB W5 Class. This tramcar was built as one of 120 trams produced to the W5 class design for the Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board (M&MTB) between 1935 and 1939 for the conversion of the Elizabeth Street tramlines from cable to electric traction. A further five trams were converted from the closely related CW5 class in 1956. M&MTB W7 Class. This tramcar was the last of the forty-strong W7 class of Melbourne trams, which was the culmination of the thirty-three year development of the base W type design, and the last W type tram to be built. These tramcars were built specifically for the conversion of the Bourke Street routes from omnibus to electric tram services, No 1040 being constructed in 1956 at Preston Workshops. The reason for the conversion was that the buses could not cope with the loadings being generated on the Bourke Street routes, which had been closed as cable tram routes in 1940.

Background vehicles: Boats & Ships: Tramway: Supposed to be in Sydney, but I wonder if it's not Melbourne again with M&MTB W Class streetcars.

Owner: South Pacific Shipping Co (1963-1970) History: HMAS BINGERA was an auxiliary anti-submarine vessel of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) during the Second World War. Bingera was built by William Denny and Brothers, Dumbarton in 1935 for the Australasian United Steam Navigation Company for the Queensland coastal trade, arriving at Brisbane on 18 November 1935. Commissioned into the RAN on 5 February 1940 and was employed in patrolling the East Coast of Australia. She was present during the Japanese midget submarine raid on Sydney Harbour on 30 May-1 June 1942 and rescued 12 men on a raft from the steamer Iron Chieftain on 4 June, sunk by Japanese submarine I-24, 27 miles east of Sydney on 3 June. She was decommissioned in August 1946 and returned to her owners. BINGERA was sold in February 1948 to Imperial Chemical Industries of Australia and New Zealand and renamed TARANUI. Her holds were lined with timber and she was used to carry cargoes for ICI's Nobel Explosive Co. She was sold in 1960 to South Pacific Shipping Co and in 1963 to South Seas Shipping, both of Suva. On 28 January 1963 she took logs and 485 tons of corrugated iron from Port Kembla to Raglan. She also made several trips with molasses from Bundaberg. In 1966 she was carrying sand from Westport to Newcastle. From about 1963 to 1970, TARANUI was chartered by the New Zealand Oceanographic Institute for several voyages, which included one through Cyclone Giselle. In 1971 she was sold to Cia de Naviera Louise SA, Panama and renamed LOCOLINA. Sold in 1978 to Straits Chartering and renamed KAH WAH before being renamed PATTANA in 1978. She was deleted from Lloyd's registry in 1988, probably after being scrapped in Thailand. Lights: Part 2. Different sites in New Zealand. Background vehicles: Roads curiosity: Part 2. Suva, Fidji.
