A line through the Botanic Gardens
Beside the Moyne, the words Botanic Gardens are struck through by hand. The gazette notes alongside record the reserve being revoked and set aside again as a public park and recreation reserve, with the Port Fairy Borough Council as its committee of management.
A3 – 420mm x 297mm | A2 – 594mm x 420mm | A1 – 841mm x 594mm

Look closer
Can you spot your street?
Beside the Botanic Gardens: Ritchie, Goldsmith, Griffith and Beach Streets, with W. Rutledge and W. Stevens on the lots.
The handwritten notes are part of this map’s appeal. Changes were added over many years, crossed out, gazetted and pencilled in, so the town’s later decisions sit on top of the original survey.
