Description

“Melbourne was drawn up by surveyor Robert Hoddle in 1837, aligning the town along the Yarra River. The gold rushes of the 1850s, when the population tripled in 18 months, saw warehouses and hotels replace crude timber dwellings and the central business district assumed the form we know today. This book contains 60 large sepia archival photographs from 1840 to 1905 of landmarks, intersections, streetscapes and known sites, some readily identifiable - some not so, each with supporting text of an historic nature.”
