Melbourne, 1880

During the 1880s New Zealand suffered an economic depression and lost large numbers of people to Australia. Many went to Victoria, where the city of Melbourne continued to experience a boom as a result of gold production. This photo looks eastward along Bourke St towards Parliament Buildings, then under construction.
