Description

What exactly makes Melbourne unique And why do we always struggle to describe the city's differences Journalist Jenny Sinclair went in search of the answers and discovered that it's actually all in our head - or, more prosaically, our collective imagination. When We Think About Melbourne is a wry and whimsical survey of the city's x-factor. It observes with a keen and appreciative eye the changing physical, social and cultural landscape of Melbourne through its literature, music, art, maps, travel and transport. This book will feature a wealth of visual material, including original photography and many defining images that have shaped Melbourne's opinion of itself.
