1866 View from Flagstaff Gardens (2) Russell Street but it proved inadequate asOne summer's afternoon in 1866, Charles Nettleton carried his photographic equipment to the Old Observatory on the highest point of Flagstaff Gardens, in the north of the city of Melbourne. With his camera pointing to the east he captured an atmospheric photo of the vista. The main road heading south, away from the photographer, is William Street. Nettleton's cart can be seen near the gates in William Street, being guarded by a policeman. All text
