Tom WilsonTom (Thomas) Wilson was born in Adelaide in 1947 in a private hospital in Malvern adjacent to the Kingswood tramline. He attended St Joseph's School, Kingswood, first catching the old 'maximum traction bogie' trams from Malvern to school, then Winder and Wadeson's and later the Westbourne Park Bus Company's buses along Cross Road from Clarence Park. He then attended Blackfriars Priory School at Prospect, catching Cole's Winston Avenue bus into the city and then the Drop Centre Prospect trams and later the Municipal Tramways Trust's three-door diesel Blair Athol buses. These all had an influence on his interest in public transport.
