As historic city buildings were demolished and streetscapes altered, Melbourne embraced modernity. The skyline grew, and so did suburban shopping centres. Under the impact of a rapidly rising population and large-scale migration, the city s distinctive and vibrant culture that we know today began to emerge. Caf s, fashion, sport, architecture, infrastructure, technology and even the law were all transformed.

Adapted from the highly popular Old Vintage Melbourne Instagram account, this collection allows us to behold iconic sights and scenes some as they were, and some as they still are, generations later.
