Items related to Melbourne's monuments
Most of Melbourne's monuments are within easy walking distance of the city centre, and this book introduces over forty of them, divided into two walking itineraries. For those who do not wish to follow a set route, each statue is clearly identified on the map and a description given. Captain Cook's Cottage, the Shrine of Remembrance, statues and fountains in the gardens - all represent a piece of Melbourne's history and reflect the attitudes of the period. A discovery tour of Melbourne's monuments thus becomes a much wider exploration of the city's past and present.
