The restored Purrey steam tram stands in the Archer Park Station & Steam Tram Museum, Rockhampton, Queensland. Rockhampton Council imported four of these vehicles, built in France by Valentin Purrey in Bordeaux, in 1909. Buses replaced the trams in June 1939 but in 1976 the reconstruction of one of them commenced.
