AUSTRALIANA Architecture

Melbourne has often been considered the most English of Australia’s captial cities, yet it was the only one to be founded by a native – born Australian. In 1835, John Bateman, the son of a convict, sailed for Port Phillip Bay and up theRiver Yarra. He later wrote in his diary: This will be the place for a village. Today, with a population of more than three million, it is Australia’s second largest city. The city is a mix of nineteenth century architecture, glass towers and innovative, modern buildings framed by parklands, magnificent gardens andthe yellow beaches of Port Phillip Bay.This fascinating book gives an insight into how the city has developed from the Victorian era and why it is considered to be one of the most liveable cities in the world.
