Summary

Copy of the 1879 report by Sir John Coode for the Melbourne Harbour Trust. The report is held by a number of collecting institutions including the Public Record Office Victoria, State Library Victoria, University of Melbourne Archives and the National Library of Australia. However, this is a vitally important document to Melbourne's development and the fact that this copy includes comments in the margins shifts it from the limited multiple to the unique.
