1839 Collins Street looking west Melbourne 1800-1820 VESSELS IN HOBSON'S BAYAn engraving produced in 1887, based on an 1839 sketch of Melbourne, looking to the west along Collins Street. The viewpoint is from the top of the hill where Russell Street is today. A group of indigenous people stand at the margins of the town, watching the changing face of their environment. Neither the British settlers nor the indigenous inhabitants could foretell what immense changes there would be to the world in the coming centuries. All text
