Good thing the brakes on the rental car were nice and responsive!


(for you non-melbourne folks - there is another couple of metres of yellow concrete ramp off the left edge of this shot. It's a perfect ramp to flip a car. These were about 70-90cm wide and protected the end of a basic tram stop. You can see the basic hand rail)
