Step Aboard The Magical Tram: New Children’s Book by Adelaide Author–Illustrator Hayley Frazer
Adelaide, SA – Friday 21 November 2025 — Families are invited to celebrate the launch of The Magical Tram at a special Tram Stop Event and Book Launch with South Australian author–illustrator Hayley Frazer.
Inspired by stories from her grandfather, a former tram conductor, Hayley’s book follows Clem the conductor, his loyal dog, and a magical tram that reveals kindness, imagination, and discovery at every stop. It’s a nostalgic journey through Adelaide’s tram history, reimagined for young readers.
