National buildings and gardens. Locations and public buildings include: St
Kilda Road; Prince's Bridge; Collins Street; Parliament House; The Public
Library, National Art Gallery; University of Melbourne; Fitzroy Gardens, The
Botanic Gardens, and Alexander Avenue."
Via Muse, who wrote "This is a documentary about Melbourne made in 1931.
Melbourne hasn’t changed much, except we have more skyscrapers and fewer
horses! The film is rather charming!"
We still have some horses though. Just not quite as many.
Share and enjoy,
