Braybrook was originally part of the former Shire of Braybrook and later the City of Sunshine. However, in 1994, Victoria underwent council amalgamations, which resulted in Braybrook being incorporated into the City of Maribyrnong. The suburb of Braybrook continues to attract considerable attention from the residents of City of Brimbank, particularly its historical features, the old buildings and distinctive streetscapes that characterise the area.To capture the essence of Braybrook in 2022, a series of photographs were taken. These images document a range of buildings, street scenes, and other notable points of interest throughout the suburb, providing a visual record of its unique character.5581.01 - Ashley St 75 Braybrook 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.02 - Ashley St 75A Braybrook 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.03 - Ashley St 87 Braybrook 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.04 - Bank St 7 Braybrook 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.05 - Bank St Braybrook 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.06 - Breen St - Former Invicta Mills Factory 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.07 - Breen St - Former Invicta Mills Factory 2022 Photo 04.JPG 5581.08 - Breen St - Former Invicta Mills Factory 2022 Photo 05.JPG 5581.09 - Melon St - Former Invicta Mills Factory 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.10 - Maribyrnong River Flooding Cranwell Park 2022 Photo 03.JPG 5581.11 - Maribyrnong River Flooding Cranwell Park 2022 Photo 06.JPG 5581.12 - Maribyrnong River Flooding Cranwell Park 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.13 - Maribyrnong River Flooding Cranwell Park 2022 Photo 15.JPG 5581.14 - Crothers St 2 Braybrook 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.15 - Rutland St Braybrook 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.16 - Scotland St 8 Braybrook 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.17 - South Rd - Former Invicta Mills Factory 2022 Photo 02.JPG 5581.18 - South Rd 4 Braybrook - ESP Machinery 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.19 - South Rd 14 - 28 Braybrook - ESP Machinery 2022 Photo 02.JPG 5581.20 - South Rd 12 Braybrook 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.21 - South Rd 14 - 28 Braybrook - ESP Machinery 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5581.22 - William Barak Sign Duke St Reserve Braybrook 2022 Photo 01.JPG ashley street, bank street, breen street, melon street, maribyrnong river, cothers street, rutland street, scotland street, south road, braybrook, william barak, aboriginal, aborigine, first nation, invictra mills, cranwell park, esp machinery
