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 captures the areas of Flemington (upper right) and Footscray (lower left). Flemington Racecourse (upper right) and the Maribyrnong River are central to the image.
