Collingwood and Fitzroy Sketchbook

Drawings by Bill Brodie, Text by Brian McKinlay (1978) Free tracked postage to anywhere in Australia. $27

A walk around Collingwood’s and Fitzroy’s streets is a marvellous stroll back into Melbourne’s past – from he social reminders of the workmen cottages and the dignity of Coppin’s Old Colonists’ Homes to the awe-inspiring Old Shot Tower in Clifton Hill, or the Collingwood Town Hall or Fitzroy’s St  Vincent’s Hospital. There are, too, such “shrines” to the average Melburnian’s supposed way of life – the Carlton and United Brewery and the Collingwood Football Ground.
