  • In the 1850s, Melbourne was the fastest growing city in the world. “They dreamt big, they built big….it was a city jumping out of its skin”. It became an epicentre of film culture and its hotels, restaurants and cafes became world renowned. However, the attempted ‘modernisation’ of Melbourne in the 1950s destroyed much of the city, including its elegant cinemas and picture palaces. Our buildings were deemed too Victorian, the opposite of a modern metropolis, and Whelan The Wrecker’s demolition blitz began. Featuring rare archival film & photography, this film is a revelatory work that allows its audience to reimagine the former glory of the lost city of Melbourne.

    Great old buildings would still be standing strong today. You have too question why because it doesn't sound right to destroy history.

    thankfully because they had so much to start with, even with the knocking down there is still an amazing amount left.

    Melbourne is like a metaphor of the ship of Theseus.

    20 years later, Joh had the Deen brothers demolish heritage buildings in Brisbane in the dead of night so that his developer buddies could throw up hotels and office buildings that remained a blight on the skyline for decades. The greed in this country is gob smacking.

    City Developers: ''Oh... is that a beautiful old building? Yes...? Destroy it. Destroy it for no other reason other than it is ''old''

    It's not just Melbourne. This happened all over Australia. Look up Tartarian Truthers - The Garden Palace in Sydney.

    GOLD was the source and the reason for all this AMAZING STUFF in Melbourne.
    I have visited Melbourne many, many times. Never seen any of it. Now I know why.
    SYDNEY IS WORSE. We Sydneysiders have almost nothing remaining...
