View from ANZ 833 Collins St East
The West Melbourne Gasworks Tower was located where the (former) ANZ building 833 Collins st West is situated.
In 1855 a young photographer from England captured the first panoramic photographs of Melbourne. Walter Woodbury 1834-1885 was an inventor and pioneering English photographer. We celebrate the old masters by showing you a modern view from Docklands Park, from where Woodbury captured the first photographic panorama of Melbourne, from the Docklands Gasworks Tower. Woodbury died 137 years ago. We walk in the footsteps of old masters, for whom the task was INFINITELY MORE DIFFICULT.
