Biography & Memoir History Australiana
150 Years of Spring Street by historian Robert Murray charts Victoria’s political heartbeat from the gold-rush parliament to the modern era, all told through the landmark Melbourne building that still houses state government. This 2007 ASP paperback blends biography and true stories of Australian politicians, making Australian history feel personal rather than academic.
Ideal for adults and young adults curious about Melbourne history or tertiary students tackling politics and society courses, the narrative moves briskly without sacrificing scholarly depth. Collectors of Australian political biographies will appreciate Murray’s accessible style and the book’s extensive local detail.
