From Buckley, Batman, Kelly and Melba... to Kylie, Germaine, Dame Edna and Effie.
THE MELBOURNE BOOK ‚ A HISTORY OF NOW is a modern chronicle of a unique city. Visual, passionate and informative, it tells the story of a city and its style, its people and its vivid past.
Crammed with anecdotes and detail and with over 700 stunning photographs, THE MELBOURNE BOOK explores our city with an eye for the ordinary and the extraordinary.
All of Melbourne's stories are here, from William Buckley ‚ the wild man of Melbourne, to Dame Edna ‚ housewife/superstar; from philanthropist Sidney Myer to artist Mirka Mora, and our beloved TV King, Graham Kennedy. You'll also find our way of life: creativity and innovation, footy and fashion, horse-racing and the weather. And our grand landmarks and favourite places: the Shrine of Remembrance, Royal Botanic Gardens, St Kilda and the Zoo.
THE MELBOURNE BOOK celebrates the very qualities that make Melbourne the world's most livable city: Opportunity, Sanctuary, Passion and Beauty. Follow Maree Coote around the city for a journey that will reveal new features to those who live here, and make those visiting wish they did. |
