Melbourne today is a popular tourist, work and entertainment destination. But how did it become what it is today? Docklands was a wasteland only used for when imports came in. When all of the developments in the 1800s were completed the purpose behind Docklands was redundant. Today, Docklands is full of restaurants and tourist attractions. We will be focusing on how and why the docklands went from being an unnoticed part of the city that people avoided to the latest tourist attraction, how the appearance and the course of the Yarra has changed over time and why there are certain buildings around the docklands. We decided to do this topic because we wanted to choose something that was important to the city of Melbourne. Without the Yarra River Melbourne would be just a city and not as popular as it has become today.
