One of Melbourne's icons, the Shrine of Remembrance is a commanding memorial to Victorians killed in WWI. Built between 1928 and 1934, much of it with Depression-relief, or ‘susso’ (sustenance), labour, its stoic, classical design is partly based on the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the seven ancient wonders of the world. The shrine's upper balcony affords epic panoramic views of the Melbourne skyline and all the way up tram-studded Swanston St.

This trendy beach is located in Melbourne City, where fashion and art are keywords of the moment. Nestled in an affluent suburb of Melbourne, these bathing boxes date as far back as the 1860s however their location was further up on Bay Street at the time. After the tramline from St Kilda to Brighton was constructed, many more residents began asking for permits to build their own bathing boxes and it’s recorded that before the Great Depression, there were between 100 to 200 boxes on record.
