The People's Republic of Moreland (Melb)

[tayser]

The City of Moreland is a large-ish local government area with a population around 150k in 51 square kilometres which neighbours the City of Melbourne (pop: ~100k) to the South, City of Moonee Valley (pop: ~110k) to the West and City of Darebin (pop: ~150k) to the East. It's well known for being the heart of Labour/Unionist politics in Melbourne and a hive for everything left-field (pardon pun).

The heart of the City of Moreland are the "Brunswicks" - Brunswick itself and East and West (where I live) Brunswick. The main drag is Sydney Road - the original road to Sydney from Melbourne.

Photos from the Sydney Road Street Party/Brunswick Music Festival today.

Enjoy the ride. #brunswick

I dig it.

I enjoy seeing other Australian cities beyond the usual. It looks like as vibrant a city as any, though the sad rail line looks awful. Nice photos, thanks!

Interesting crowd you got there tayser.



Kind of reminds me of Ithaca on steroids.

Thanks for the tour.

[Okayyou]

That's one hell of a 5 O'Clock shadow.



Looks like a fun day.

I visited the city many years ago, it may not have the initial wow factor of Sydney but I found the people couldn't do enough for you . Great photos , it's easy to see why Melbourne consistently get voted World's Most Liveable City.

Very attractive city.
That rail line doesn't look that bad- could use a little sprucing up.
