Here's the cover and key to the 'attractions' on the map.

Those familiar with Melbourne are in for some surprises ... quite a few
attractions are not where I thought they were ... for example several
hospitals were in different locations in the 1930s to what they were
later.

What I knew as the "Queen Victoria Hospital" was the "Melbourne
Hospital" then ... and the QV was elsewhere.

Hospitals seem to be particularly mobile buildings even now!

.... more to come ...
