"On his last day, after kissing his wife goodbye, Rocco Eliche donned a crisp
white shirt, tucked it into pressed black slacks, tied the shoelaces of his
black trainers, and headed out the door.

He stepped onto the 86 tram on High Street, Thornbury, and travelled the
familiar 25 minutes south to Bourke Street.

He had made the trip more than 10,000 times, but today would be the last time
he would make the journey before stepping down as one of Pellegrini's
longest-serving staff members."

Cheers,
