Seaside St Kilda
Luna Park, the sea baths, the Espy — Melbourne's Edwardian holiday by the sea.
Before St Kilda was bohemian it was Melbourne's seaside. The Esplanade Hotel watching the bay since 1878. Luna Park's mouth opening in 1912. The sea baths, the pier, the Palais. A walk along the foreshore the city has been escaping to for a century and a half — and the grand pleasure architecture it built to make the escape feel permanent.
