The Rise and Fall of Marvelous Melbourne
Richard Topany is the author of The Rise and Fall of Marvelous Melbourne. He says there was a sense of civic pride among those who came to Australia as migrants in the 1800s. They saw their city grow from a small country town into one of the world's biggest cities, he says. That generated a enormous sense of pride and of civic identity for people living here at that time.
