This book references a lot of landmarks in Melbourne. It is really aimed at people who know Melbourne very well, since the landmarks are given a description, rather than a name. Eg 'Howzat' for the MCG, and 'clocks' for Flinders Street Station. The pictures have a bit of detail to point out if you know what you are looking for. I don't live in Melbourne anymore, so my daughter barely knows these landmarks, but it was still fun for me to read to her.
