Tourism in Australia
An exhibition of material from the Monash
University Library Collection
23rd October 2003 - March 2004.
"The exhibition is a sample of what is available and helps show the
range and depth of the holdings at Monash. For example there are some
fascinating and rare guide books giving people tours of Melbourne and
suburbs in 1870's and 1880's," said Mr Richard Overell, Rare Books
librarian.
"Seeing how we Australians have promoted ourselves to others at various
times in the past provides us with some intriguing insights into how
tourism has evolved, not to mention the strangeness of seeing familiar
places in unfamiliar times."
