Part of Melbourne's charm is down to the preservation of grand buildings from its days as Australia's most populous and prosperous city. Victoria's gold rush in the 1850s led to a rapid expansion and allowed the city to build magnificent institutional structures such as Customs House, the City Baths, treasury Building and Her Majesty's theatre.

Melbourne: then and Now, shows both the historical and current images of these fabulous landmarks, giving a fascinating insight into Melbourne's development from its Victorian roots through to the 21st Century city of towering skyscrapers. Updated with stunning new photography, this classic book features a wide range of the city's best locations, from the great Flinders Street Station, to Albert Park and St Kilda and is the perfect gift for Melbournites and travelers alike.
