GOLD-RICH Melbourne from the 1850s was the fastest-growing city in the world, a famous metropolis of palatial theatres, Victorian towers and luxurious cafes and hotels serviced by new cable cars and hydraulic lifts. A century later however the wheel began to turn with scores of heritage buildings demolished by Whelan the Wrecker.
EXPERIENCE the splendour of the Lost City of Melbourne and its stunning architecture. We go to the actual locations and use scores of photos. We also visit surviving architecture of the Marvellous Melbourne era.
EXPLORE hidden history mysteries, lost infrastucture and archaeology in the basements, facades, arcades and labyrinth of lanes.
