Fritch Holzer Park in Borrondara is highly significant to the Hidden Melbourne project in which we have been collecting historic views of Melbourne from the towers of the first buildings after settlement in 1835, and walking in the footsteps of the old image makers to capture views of the modern city from the same locations.

Due to the high rise buildings in the city, most of the city's old towers have lost their interconnecting views. Boroondara covers a huge area to the east of the city. This viewpoint lies 7km East of the city and 7km south of Heidelberg Town Hall, from the tower of which we captured a Gigapixel view of the city.

The Melbourne Centenary was a 1934 centennial celebration of the founding of the city of Melbourne, Australia. As Victoria reeled from the severe economic and social fracturing of the Great Depression, its Centenary celebrated progress and community cohesion. Held between October 1934 and June 1935, the Centenary in fact celebrated two ‘foundation' events, firstly commemorating Edward Henty's Portland settlement on 19 November 1834 as the first white settlement in what would later become the state of Victoria, then John Batman's pronouncement of the area upstream of the Yarra River as ‘the place for a village', taken as the city's foundation, on 8 June 1835.
