Summary

This Louis Porter photograph was exhibited in the 2013 City Gallery exhibition ‘Cluster: exploring the stories and patterns behind Melbourne street names’, curated by Stephen Banham. It shows the intersection of Treasury Place and Flinders Street in the Melbourne suburb of Taylors Hill. In the exhibition Banham noted that “An inspiration for an inner urban experience has given rise to one of the oddest forms of clusters - the 'mini-melbourne' cluster. These feature a gridded network of streets whose names playfully mimic those of the central business district (Flinders, Collins, Bourke etc.)” Other Melbourne suburbs featuring this phenomenon are Essendon, Mentone, Williamstown and Bulleen.
