SECOND HAND BOOK – EX LIBRARY
Did you know that Port Phillip Bay was once a huge flat plain across which the Yarra flowed on its way to Tasmania?
- that beech trees and peat moss grew in places now covered by railway yards and shops?
- that Emerald Hill is an ancient volcano?
- that giant wombats the size of donkeys wandered through the bush?
- that the Aboriginal people set fish traps across the Maribyrnong?
- that the Tullamarine Freeway runs along the Moonee Ponds Creek valley where bright yellow yam daisies flourished?
- that Caulfield and Carrum were once luxuriant places where the Kulin people met for foodgathering and ceremonies?
This is a fascinating guided tour to a vanished country and its people — that lets you see the Melbourne area through new eyes.
