Synopis
This is a Pictorial Research
Project, which examines the history, development, and evolution of the leafy suburb of Mont Albert,12 km east of central Melbourne,
from its beginnings in 1830 until the present.
Much of the content has been derived from the author's first-hand knowledge of Mont Albert, which
has been his home since 1959, supported by interviews with long-time residents.
The present day surburb of Mont Albert did not really begin until the early
1890s - prior to then, it was part of Surrey Hills and Box Hill, and relevant background information about those suburbs
is included, as well as content about adjoining present-day Mont Albert North.
