	Melbourne, Australia
		Melbourne, Australia's second largest city, lies in the southeast of the continent, straddling the Yarra River at the north end of Port Phillip Bay, which shelters it from the stormy Bass Strait.
		Melbourne's Victorian roots are still visible, however, in the broad streets, the European trees and the 19th C. buildings which have been restored and refurbished in recent years, particularly in the inner suburbs.
		The central area of Melbourne, on the right bank of the Yarra River, is in the form of a regular rectangle bounded on the south by Flinders Street, which runs parallel to the river, on the west by Spencer Street, on the north by Latrobe Street and on the east by Spring Street.

	Melbourne Buildings [Walking Melbourne]
		Melbourne still possesses many magnificent reminders of a glorious past, however much of Victorian Melbourne was destroyed between the 1950s and 1980s.
		Looking at Melbourne today, it is hard to picture how the city might have looked during the glory days and boom times of the 1890s and 1930s.
		As a result, Melbourne is a collection of landmarks, not relying on a bridge, statue or harbour for character, but instead directly on the streets themselves.

		Melbourne was founded in 1835, during the reign of King William IV, with the arrival of the schooner 'Enterprize' near the present site of Queen’s Wharf.
		Hoddle’s plan for Melbourne was approved by Governor Bourke but the plan was based largely on the work of Hoddle’s predecessor and junior, Robert Russell.

		From next Monday, Melbourne will get its second transit lane, when changes are made to Hoddle Street to ease one of the city's worst congestion spots.
		A transit lane identical to the one on the Eastern Freeway will be added during evening peak times along Hoddle Street's northbound carriageway to encourage commuters to share cars or use public transport.
		"Hoddle Street is one of Melbourne's busiest roads, carrying in excess of 44,000 vehicles per day in each direction, and the T2 transit lanes will ensure that one lane of traffic is always moving and provide further encouragement for people to car-pool," Transport Minister Peter Batchelor said.

		When I visited Melbourne in 1998 one of the places I was compelled to go to was the site of the Hoddle Street Massacre.
		The Hoddle Street Massacre is the name given to a tragedy that occurred on the evening of August 9, 1987, that resulted in the deaths of seven people and serious injury to nineteen more, when nineteen year old Julian Knight opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle in Hoddle Street, Melbourne.
		As a method I was interested to recreate the work seven years later (2005) to plot how these memories have changed over time, and to injvestigate the erasure of the publics memory of the Hoddle Street Massacre from one of a personal connection to one of a myth.

	CHAPEL STREET - HISTORY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Around High Street, Thomas Street, St. John Street and Green Street, many of the old houses have been utilised or swallowed up by the growing complex of the Prahran campus of Swinburne University and its College of T.A.F.E. The amalgamation of tertiary institutions saw the Victoria College, once located here, merge with Swinburne University.
		Many of the changes that led to the prosperity and development of Chapel Street can be attributed to changes in transport and especially in 1888 with the installation of a cable tram service along the main road.
		The flats therefore were placed in the centre of a quiet oasis of small streets and houses and were never accepted by the local residents.
