Naarm / Melbourne Neighbourhoods | by Dale Campisi

 

Join Melburnian Dale Campisi on a stroll around this city of villages in Naarm/Melbourne Neighbourhoods, learning how each locale's history and contemporary culture contribute to the uniqueness of the Victorian capital city.

 

This book is filled with fascinating stories and histories that unearth the quirky character of the city and its neighbourhoods, from tales of Wurundjeri and Bunurong Traditional Owners, to surveyor Robert Hoddle's original street plan, to South Melbourne dimmies. It's these stories that not only showcase Melbourne's variety of people, scenes and cultures, but also uncover the threads that connect Melbourne to the rest of the country and the world.

 

Having lived and worked all over Melbourne, Dale Campisi is the perfect guide to exploring this city's past and experiencing its present, showing just how important each community is, especially since the disruptions wrought by pandemic lockdowns. The book includes maps and photography to complement the deep dives into each neighbourhood, with walking tours at the end of each chapter so that readers can follow in the footsteps of many Melburnians before them.

 

There's something for everyone, with carefully curated content from off-grid camping to luxury resorts and everything in between. So whether you're after a beachside getaway, a sporting adventure or wildlife encounters, a whole ocean of island adventures are on the horizon.
