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 the Parliament buildings, which were in the course of construction.
