Meyer Eidelson will take us on a Virtual Tour of early Melbourne, once known as Bearbrass. We will travel past early settlers’ homes, Batman Hill, gaols, pub, church, docks, woolstore, warehouses, auction house, market, customs, newspaper office, Melbourne Club, Yarra Yarra falls, Aboriginal camp etc.
He will pursue the political, social and economic reasons that created this village and who were the personalities that shaped it, from the larrikins and battlers to the gentrified speculators.
