Photocopies of the Collingwood entries of the Melbourne directories for the following years: 1858, 1860, 1862, 1870, 1873-1894 (annual; 1876 missing), 1897, 1902, 1904, 1906, 1907, 1910, 1912, 1919. Arrangement is by street address within the three suburbs which comprise the municipality. Occupiers (`heads' of household) rather than owners are listed, and occupation shown. Sometimes this is at variance with the rate records, in which case the latter records should generally be taken as being more accurate. The alphabetical list of occupiers which covers all of suburban Melbourne has not been reproduced here. If the address of the person of interest is not known, the full microfiche copies of these directories should therefore be consulted. A set is held in the Richmond local history collection.
Over two years, writer Nick Gadd and his wife Lynne circled the city of Melbourne on foot, starting at Williamstown and ending in Port Melbourne. Along the way they uncovered lost buildings, secret places and mysterious signs that told of forgotten stories and curious characters from the past. Soon after they completed the circle, Lynne passed away from cancer. Melbourne Circle is the story of their journey, a memoir, and a stunning meditation on personal loss. ‘What a gem this book is! Oddity, wonderment, weirdness: these splendid essays reveal a marvellous Melbourne most of us have never encountered before. This is a psychogeography dense with vernacular history, humane detail, and from beneath the shadow of grief, love.’ –­ Gail Jones, author of Five Bells and The Death of Noah Glass ‘‘‘Psychojogging”’ and the pleasures of walking.’ – interview with Hilary Harper on Radio National, Life Matters ‘Marvellous Melbourne: the books that capture our city and its life.’ – The Age/Sydney Morning Herald ‘Melbourne Circle: Walking, Memory and Loss is a very special book. Just read it, and then take to the streets and walk with the same spirit of enquiry.’ – Sophie Cunningham, The Age ‘A beautiful meditation on the streets in which we live, ghosts, love and loss … While there is sadness in this book, Gadd writes with warmth, humour and a generosity of spirit.’ – Stephen Romei, The Weekend Australian ‘An endearing book about enduring love and serendipitous discoveries; of remnants of the past pasted onto old buildings, and the way these ghost signs are portals into another time.’ – The Saturday Paper
Today Australian Rules football is a billion-dollar business, with superstar players, high-profile presidents and enough scandals to fill a soap opera. The game has changed beyond recognition – or has it? In A Game of Our Own, esteemed historian Geoffrey Blainey documents the birth and evolution of our great national game. Who were the characters and champions of the early days of Australian football? How were the first leagues formed? Why was the umpire's job so difficult? Journey back to an era when the ground was not oval, when captains acted as umpires, when players wore caps and jerseys bearing forgotten colours and kicked a round ball that soon lost its shape. A Game of Our Own tells the fascinating story of one of the world's oldest and most dynamic football codes. "Australians are not only very good at playing sport – we invent it as well. Fans of the game will love this book; it is a great read about a great game and how it all began." –Ron Barassi
"It had to happen. Carnaby Street was the centre of fashion in the 60s. The 70s belonged to Haight-Ashbury's flower children. Then in the 80s Melbourne gave birth to Brunswick Street - epicentre of an emerging arts movement. Three subcultures - grungers, bohemians and radical feminists collided and brought forth a dynamic that changed the face of the inner city. The meteoric rise of Brunswick Street was a cultural explosion of art, theatre, fashion, grunge, music, drugs, diverse sexuality, celebrity and politics."Maz Wilson. Brunswick Street, Art & Revolution is the story of a street that became a culture. Written by Anne Rittman and Maz Wilson, it consists of a series of interviews and colour photographs with and of the people who brought about that transformation. It teems with characters: baristas, hair-cutters, potters, comedians, painters, singers, poets, restaurateurs and more. It evokes iconic places: the Black Cat, Pigtale Pottery, The Flying Trapeze, T F Much Ballroom, Bakers, Circus Oz , Scully & Trombone and the list goes on. It bursts with visual impact: performances, artworks, architecture and the Waiters' Race for example. Here it is in its true form as a cultural, social and political history. It was a pioneering spirit which created its own centre of gravity. Early on the street had a frisson of excitement. Artists rubbing shoulders with criminals in a quarter acre block.
