My City... Melbourne.. the old and the new.

Melbourne's establishment began with the arrival of the Enterprise (a topsail schooner) in 1835. These images trace the first few decades of early Melbourne.

There are numerous sites where many sightings of Ghostly figures and 'apparitions' have been reported. Some of these sights are included in this gallery along with a short story as recorded from 'eye' witnesses.

Please feel free to comment and or leave suggestions, or, if you like them, vote for the images or this gallery. Regards Bob

Used to live there in the 1970s and so it was nice to see your lovely travelogue of images. Great job.
