Australia 
The city of Adelaide, Australia, provides this website. From the tourist webcams on offer, the two mounted on the bell tower of the town hall are of interest to us. The north view looks down onto King William Street and the south view gives Victoria Square. A frequent service on the newly extended Adelaide Glenelg tramway can be seen on both. At weekends the heritage tram may also be seen. The images automatically update every 5 or 10 seconds, but can be slowed for dial-up users.
Austria

Below the image are links for alternative access methods.
Positioned high above the Danube Canal in Vienna (Wien), Austria, the camera looks down onto a panorama of the city. The camera can be repositioned and zoomed, and the view is updated in real time, giving a semi-moving picture. The best shot is of the Franz-Josefs-Kai where tram route 1 runs. Select Saint Ruprecht's Church as a start point and then move downwards to find the tram track. A still photo can be captured. The main problem with this site is that another user may well take control of the camera at a crucial point.

In front of the scene trams on route 21 used to regularly pass by, but with the May 2008 opening of the U2 Metro extension, service 21 was withdrawn. We have left the camera for the time being as we understand there may be "specials" in connection with events at the stadium. The image updates every 5 seconds.
