South Melbourne's walks
People · South Melbourne
Emerald Hill
Workers' cottages, the Market, and the Greek community that anchored a century.
Step away from the Casino end and South Melbourne reveals its real shape — Emerald Hill, rising in tight rows of workers' cottages laid out before Federation. The South Melbourne Market that's never closed. The Greek Orthodox community that took root after the war. The town hall that was its own city before amalgamation.
