When We Think About Melbourne
by Jenny Sinclair
What makes Melbourne unique? And where does it get its x-factor? Journalist Jenny Sinclair goes in search of the answers and discovers that it’s actually all in our head – or, more precisely, our collective imagination.
When We Think About Melbourne is a wry and whimsical survey of our city's creativity. It observes with a keen and appreciative eye the changing physical, social and cultural landscape of Melbourne through its literature, music, art, maps, travel and transport.
This title is supported by the City of Melbourne, and is co-published with the State Library of Victoria.
