Current Outing : Tue 16th July 2024 (3rd Tue): North-West CBD Laneways – Joe H – MCC

(Details sent via mailout on 2nd July 2024)

*** The outing will occur despite the inclement weather. We’ve added a shorter route to the map. (Updated: 15 Jul 2024)***

On our 2nd outing for July, we plan to visit a neighbourhood of the city many of you may not be familiar with: the laneways of the north-west block of the CBD. This is the area bounded by Elizabeth, Queen, A’Beckett and Little Bourke Streets.

Briskly walking along its edge one can easily overlook the fascinating pockets of Melbourne’s history that it hides. Behind skyscrapers on the main throughfares are hidden old workshops, factories, warehouses, loft apartments and artis’ studios. All very interesting and photogenic.

Meeting time and place: We will meet in the food court at Melbourne Central at 10.30am. Take the up escalator on the corner of La Trobe & Swanston Sts.

Before we head out, you will be given a map to guide you through the neighbourhood.

We will end-up in Hardware Lane, just north of the intersection with Little Bourke Street, and have lunch at ‘Max Bar & Restaurant’ (54-58 Hardware Lane) at 12.30pm.

It should be a very interesting photographic jaunt.

Hope to see many of our Camberwell members, as well as our friends from Melbourne CC there.
