A Place of Sensuous Resort. St Kilda Buildings and their People.
Third Edition (2005 - )
The interwoven narratives of 48 of the most intriguing buildings and their denizens in Melbourne’s most sensuous suburb, such a long way from Ivanhoe. This work was orginally comissioned by the St Kilda Historical Society. The third edition, of the paperback and E-Book, now much larger and brought right up to date to include the tortured sagas of Tolarno, the Palais/Triangle Site and elsewhere. A work in progress.
