    Further to my previous note, below, FW Thring, who produced this movie, was notable Australian for his major contributions to the development of early Australian Cinema: He opened the Paramount Theatre in Bourke St in 1915 which later became The Lyceum. He became managing director of J. C. Williamson's Films in 1918, which eventually merged to become Hoyts in 1926. Thring was also responsible for introduction of sound equipment to make Australian “Talkies” - one of the first of which is this Film of Melbourne.

    While Melbourne now is much bigger ( 5 million vs 1 million ) not many of the sights featured have vanished :
    The original Wilson Hall at Melbourne University burnt down
    The Foundation Tree in the Botanic gardens died off
    The Tan around the Botanic Gardens has became a running track( rather than an equestrian track )
    There would have been a lot of pretty slummy buildings just out of camera range when this was filmed -say where Southbank and Docklands now are
    Of course a lot of fine heritage buildings (say in Collins St and St Kilda Rd) are now also gone

    Spectacular buildings of such high craftsmanship and quality - and made in a time of horse and cart!
    And no electricity!! Just amazing!
    Given cameras were around in the 1850's there must be loads of photos of the construction of these magnificent buildings.
    And there must be loads of peoples who's great grandparents worked on these buildings and proudly shared stories.
    So...where are the photos and the stories.....

    Fascinating from several points of view: FW Thring was father of actor Frank Thring, a star of Hollywood films including Ben-Hur (1959) and The Vikings (1958) - also the Australian film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985).
    The narrator speaks of the King and Queen as having driven down St Kilda Rd and of His Majesty the King, opening the first Australian Parliament. To be correct, he should have said ‘As Duke of York…‘. He also claims that the State Library’s concrete dome is the largest in the world - it wasn’t - because at 142 ft, the Pantheon in Rome is nearly 2000 years older and 28 ft wider.
    “Finest city in the British Empire” was another dubious claim, although at the time, 1930 - and up until the 1956 Olympics - it probably was the largest city of Victorian era architecture in the world.

    Our forefathers had such foresight from 1860 to 1900 to build such magnificent buildings. Unfortunately many, many superb buildings and street verandahs were DEMOLISHED between 1953 to 1980 to the shame of Melbourne. It could have been truly the 'Paris of the South', but ended up as a mish-mash of old and new monstrosities of skyscrapers of plain steel and glass. It's too late now. The heritage laws came too late!

      @@TheNomad2727 There was the 6 o'clock swill at hotels/pubs.
      This was the mad dash by workers to get to their watering hole after work at 5pm (or thereabouts) and consume as much booze as possible (generally beer) before closing time at 6pm!
      The idea was to curb the drinking/inebriation culture among the male population by shutting pub doors very early in the day. Prior to this, most pubs closed by 11:30pm.
      However, patrons generally consumed as much beer in one hour, as they would drinking slowly over the course of the evening to the later closing time! Many patrons also drove home after the pubs closed causing car crashes, injuries, etc. Eventually, pub closing hours were extended once again.
      Clearly the Australian temperance experiment failed in this case!

There were no multi storey level cranes or cranes capable of lifting the granite pieces in to place with such precision. There wasn’t that many stone masons working in Victoria, let alone Australia, at that time!
    So who built all the large, multi storey building that were in Melbourne at that time?

      Over the years I’ve received many thank you messages regarding uploading videos people have been searching for many years.
      The term ‘Copyright’ gets a little overused, it’s really there in most cases to stop piracy for $$$ reasons. Unfortunately some people go way overboard. Example I put 10 seconds of a virtually unknown 1990 Melbourne movie up on TH-cam and 5 yrs later the producer of the movie gave me a copyright strike through TH-cam. He could’ve just sent me a message or just write a comment to take it down. Reality is it didn’t make an ounce of difference being on TH-cam or not.

      It was over 600,000 in 1900 and the nation was 6 million during WW2, so my guess would be about a million in 1931. Given the way the city was laid out, probably a good size, not too crowded.

    Are we to believe that only 30years after the first house was built, with horse and carts, no modern machinery or tools and a tiny population, MULTIPLE world class buildings and structures with the finest architectural design and stonework known to man was just thrown together by locals, convicts and a few bags of concrete?

      It is amazing but true. We have the enormous quantities of gold taken from Ballarat and Bendigo to thank for it - riches that made marvellous Melbourne along with a far-sighted leadership that built quality to last, not like the many poor quality towers that are constructed today and will be ready to be recycled in 50 years.

      The hand-me-downs we inherited from our Tartarian ancestors are still standing today, the cathedrals and government buildings mostly. We built our crap around it and nothing built from this early settlement lasted besides these buildings that were already there.

    The truth is that these grand ornate buildings and well-established old-growth Botanic Gardens could not have been conceived and executed by the handful of people present in an early outpost and "convict settlement". History has been a lie.
