Published by the Australian Broadcasting Commission, this richly curated volume presents the Victorian capital through a tapestry of personal recollections, historical vignettes, and evocative observations, drawing together voices that have called this remarkable city home.\n\nThe collection illustrates Melbourne's evolution from a gold-rush boomtown into one of the world's most liveable and culturally vibrant metropolises, chronicling the streets, laneways, institutions, and characters that define its singular identity. In the tradition of great city portraits, it argues that to truly know Melbourne is to understand the contradictions at the heart of Australian urban life — its European aspirations set against a distinctly antipodean landscape. Whether you are a proud Melburnian or an armchair traveller, this is a book that will leave you yearning to turn the very next corner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49309684891867,"sku":"2026200016615-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5248aeaf-c47b-488e-86ab-7f534c59f781.png?v=1789455407","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016615-secondhand-melbourne-on-my-mind","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
