East Melbourne's walks
City · East Melbourne
Grand East Melbourne
Parliament, mansion row, Fitzroy Gardens and the MCG roar a block away.
Where the gold money parked itself, and mostly stayed. Parliament House looming at the top of Bourke. The terraces of consulates and chief justices. The Treasury Gardens, Fitzroy Gardens, Cook's Cottage and Captain's Walk. A precinct designed to look permanent — and largely still is.
