Summary

This aerial photograph is part of a collection of large format images stored in a wooden cabinet. The photographs document the Melbourne City Council municipality, particularly focusing on the areas west, north-west and south of Melbourne CBD. These areas have undergone huge urban transformation in the time since these photographs have been taken.

This photograph documents the West Melbourne industrial area and the Port of Melbourne (lower right). Footscray Road and Dynon Road run parallel along middle of the photograph, with Moonee Ponds Creek running vertically. Central to this photograph is the South Dynon Locomotive Depot and Melbourne Yard.
