Postcard - Photo postcard, Postcard of Bourke Road, Camberwell, Unknown date but postcard probably dated circa 1900 - definitely pre 1913 because in that year gas lamps were removed from main roads, intersections, also street trees in Burke Road. Also no cars are visible on the street, only horses and carriages. In March 1894 the first streets in the central city of Melbourne were lit with electricity
