Melbourne & Beyond

Steve Parish Publishing. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Melbourne, capital of the Australian State of Victoria, is one of the world's great cities, gracious, spacious and blessed with the lovely Yarra River and Port Phillip Bay. It is a centre for the arts, culture and cuisine, rich in world-class galleries, theatres and restaurants. Melbourne's wide streets have charm and elegance, and are lined with ultra-modern office towers of steel and glass along with classical Victorian and Edwardian buildings. Easily accessible from Melbourne is a wide range of spectacular scenery packed into Victoria's compact area: the rugged snow-capped mountains of the Victorian Alps; the rainforested wilderness of the Otway Ranges and the stern rock faces of the Grampians; the lovely lakes and fertile farmlands of South Gippsland; the wave-battered granite headlands and sheltered beaches of Wilsons Promontory; the wild coastal vistas of the Great Ocean Road and the Indented Coast; and the arid lands of the State's north-west, which flower after rains fall. Here, Steve Parish has gathered together superb photographs depicting the soul of Melbourne, the marvellous natural endowments of Victoria, and its treasured heritage. 117 pages.
