1846 Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria
1858 Melbourne Anglican Grammer School
1861 National Gallery of Victoria, Australia’s oldest and most visited art museum.
Seems like a period of development and the colonial establishment getting their priorities in order.
The Art Gallery is split over two sites as we were informed by a helpful fitter ( we weren’t where we wanted to be, as it was mainly British and European old art). The main sight has great modern Aboriginal Art, especially that of Reko Rennie.
The gardens are a well frequented and tranquil place, and like the art gallery, free.
The school is fee paying so we didn’t go in.
Fine city, only scratched a thin layer.
