Continuing yesterday’s tour, just some of the many photos I took. I apologise that I don’t know how to place the photos on the page to my satisfaction.

1856/57 Number 56 Bourke Street was rented by Eugene Von Guerad, an artist who dominated Australian landscape painting during the late C19th.

Von Guerad was appointed as the first Master of Painting at the National School of Art, Melbourne, and curator of the National Gallery.
