Do You Dare? Tough Times
Page 10
But when I moved to inner Melbourne as an adult, I suddenly had over 150 years of history waiting for me just outside my front door. I had a great time exploring the maze-like streets of my area, marvelling at the 19th-century terrace houses, the bluestone laneways, the enormous old factories and countless other historical relics.
Of course, I also started wondering about the generations of people that lived, worked and played in the area before I did. So it’s been great fun being able to bring some of that thinking to life in this book.
