This tour reveals the history behind the Gold Rush witnessed by Melbourne from the 1850s. We will trace this history of Melbourne from its growth beginning with a visit to the Old Treasury Museum, before we dive off down laneways and arcades. In the company of a local expert, we’ll uncover how this sleepy sheep town became one of the largest cities in the British Empire. We begin at the Old Treasury Building, one of Melbourne’s oldest and finest buildings and symbolic of the financial impact of the Gold Rush. We’ll look at this through the lens of the treasury building and other icons of Melbourne’s built environment, including the so-called “Gothic Bank†where ANZ Bank makes its world headquarters today.
We will also explore Melbourne’s famous laneways and arcades, most of which date to the end of the 19th century and are a direct result of the boomtown atmosphere here.
