GOLD-RICH Melbourne in the 1850s was the fastest-growing city in the world. It would soon become a world-famous metropolis of stunning commercial towers, palatial theatres, luxurious cafes, hotels and new technologies such as cable cars and hydraulic lifts. A century later however the wheel began to turn with scores of heritage buildings demolished with more than a little help from Whelan the Wrecker.
