Jubilee Avenue

The second stop along the line was probably Jubilee Avenue, where property developers hoped to sell land. Visitors could also detrain here to visit Devonport Domain. In 1886, the Domain was a grassy field where cricket, rugby, and football games were played. The bowling green and tennis lawn were not added until the late 1880s. Jubilee also marked the highest elevation along the tramway at 12 metres above sea level, which journalists on the initial run reported as “being a short bit, which is at a very easy gradient.”
