One of a series assembled for the Melbourne Exhibition of 1873, original mount hanging in Engineering Department at Port Melbourne Town Hall at 19-9-1994. This set of prints belonged to Town Clerk Syd ANDERSON, then to his daughter-in-law Phyllis ANDERSON (donor). Accompanied by list of captions, both hand written and typed (the latter a partial listing). View from pedestrian bridge over railway, looking southeast over 'ornamental' Railway Reserve, 1870s. Probably taken from footbridge just north of Raglan Street; open space is believed to be swamp drainage area between Raglan and Spring Street. (Location usually attributed to Farrell Street - i.e. taken from footbridge at Bridge and Station, but this proves unlikely as there had been no construction on the swamp between Bridge and Farrell until later.)"P.

Maree and Marcus of 63 Station Street married after several years of living together. As she is a fashion designer, she designed and made all costumes; as he is a musician, some of his friends played jazz and rock for the procession to the Port Melbourne Yacht Club for the ceremony. Only three neighbours (including photographer) were invited to accompany the procession. The wedding must have been one of the last functions in the clubhouse before it burned.From a group of photographs of the 1989 wedding procession of Maree Menzel and Marcus Davidson, from the railway reserve near 63 Station Street to the Port Melbourne Yacht Club: procession in Beach Street, Swallow & Ariell, Sandridge Hotel and former cable tram depot in viewcelebrations fetes and exhibitions, built environment, maree menzel, marcus davidson, amelia finch

This float was created by members of Friends of the Park, a group formed in 1987 against government proposals to turn the railway and reservation into a grand boulevard to service the proposed Sandridge City 'bayside' development. Members worked for months to make the decorations, added to a trailer. During the festival procession sausages were BBQ'd on the trailer and handed out to the crowd. On arrival at Murphy's Reserve all floats were put out of sight, and few saw the results of their efforts.One of 16 photos of Friends of the Park float for the February 1989 Port Melbourne Festival: Float construction at Station Street carport - Jemma and Marilyn Tulloch with flower decorationscelebrations fetes and exhibitions, public action campaigns, gemma tulloch, marilyn tulloch, friends of the park, port melbourne festival
