West Melbourne, Victoria The residential component of West Melbourne, however, was mostly displaced by expanding industry on the edge of the central city area, although several row houses and individual dwellings were identified in a conservation study in 1983 as being of significance. West Melbourne is generally associated with North Melbourne, as both were surveyed and proposed for sale at the same time. The opening of the asylum coincided with the Melbourne Town Council's overtures for a new township to accommodate the gold-rush population influx. www.arts.monash.edu.au /ncas/multimedia/gazetteer/list/westmelbourne.html   (1083 words)

Melbourne, Australia - Public transport FAQ Railway station ticket machines will not sell you a ticket not valid in the current zone, even if you have an existing valid ticket but are going into another zone. Most services between the city and Footscray, Caulfield, Clifton Hill, Burnley, Dandenong, Ringwood and Camberwell are provided by trains from the two or more lines that branch from these stations. The Melbourne city and suburbs are divided into three zones, and passengers pay for the zones they want to travel in, and the time they want. www.custard.net.au /melbtrans   (357 words)

TMSV: Footscray - genesis of a local tramway What remains of the Footscray lines is route 82, a cross-suburban route between Ascot Vale and Footscray railway station, which is not of any particularly great utility, especially as the heavy manufacturing and munitions industries that it served and that once drove the economy of the Footscray area have withered. The genesis of the Footscray Tramways Trust in the second decade of the twentieth century is a case in point, when decisions were made through a lengthy and tortuous process that determined the nature and type of tramway that the suburb of Footscray would receive. This was to be the ongoing pattern for investment in the Footscray area by the M&MTB for the rest of its life, the MandMTB being dominated by management inherited from the PMTT with a strong focus on the eastern suburbs. www.tmsv.org.au /papers/footscray.htm   (357 words)

Footscray Not Western Bulldogs Homepage Footscray sounded similar to Fitzroy, just as West Coast and Western Bulldogs and both teams had the same abbreviation with FFC Footscray and Fitzroy are actual places and both clubs names reflect the suburb they originated from.

Melbourne's Tramway History. The second electric tramway in Melbourne's suburbs was opened on the 11th October 1906 and ran from Flemington Bridge (near the terminus of the North Melbourne cable tram route) to Essendon, with a branch to Saltwater River (Now Maribyrnong River) and a short spur along Puckle St Moonee Ponds, to Moonee Ponds railway station. An extension of one mile to Brighton Beach railway station was opened on 22nd December 1906 making a total length of 5 miles 12 chains. The lease of the cable trams by the Melbourne Tramways and Omnibus Co. expired on 30th June, 1916 and it was decided to appoint an interim Melbourne Tramways Trust to operate the system until it was decided what to do about the growing problems of street passenger transport in the Melbourne metropolitan area. www.geocities.com /z_class/tramhistory.html   (509 words)
