In this much-loved book, Robyn Annear resurrects the village that was early Melbourne – from the arrival of white settlers in 1835 until the first gold rushes shook the town – and brings it to life in vivid colour.īearbrass was one of the local names by which Melbourne was known and Annear provides a fascinating living portrait of the streetlife of this town. Settle yourself in the window of one, shut your eyes, and picture this scene of yore. Here you'll find a number of places to eat and drink. Just a little way down Collins Street, beside Henry Buck's, is a perpetually dark but sheltered laneway called Equitable Place.
