The Talk About Town: Urban Lives & Oral Sources in 20th Century Australia
Deindustrialisation Tour of Melbourne - Wednesday 26 August 2009 - 3pm to 5pm
In common with the experiences of many other cities worldwide, inner Melbourne has undergone profound change in recent decades. New residents, new industries and new forms of culture have transformed an area that was working class, migrant, and dominated by manufacturing industry until the 1970s, to a highly-valorised post-industrial region today.
In this walk, Seamus O'Hanlon brings an historical perspective to these recent changes in the urban fabric of the inner city, using Fitzroy, Melbourne's first suburb, as a case study.
Start: 3.00pm. Meet cnr Nicholson Street and Johnston St, Fitzroy, Melways 2B K7.
Tram 96 from Bourke St. Bus 200, 203 from Lonsdale St and Lygon Sts.
The Talk about Town: Urban Lives & Oral Sources in 20th Century Australia brings together researchers and professionals working on life in Australian cities since 1900.
