Eaglemont walking tour
Event Information
About this event
Eaglemont has a long and diverse history, from being a significant meeting place for people of the Kulin nation, to a camp for the Heidelberg School of Impressionist artists. Today, it is home to some of Melbourne’s most iconic modernist and contemporary residential architecture. The suburb’s topography — Mount Eagle itself down to the flats of the Yarra River (Birrarung) — inspired architects Marion Mahoney and Walter Burley Griffin to design two subdivisions respecting the landscape and creating wonderfully hidden shared spaces. An architour of this unique suburb is one of exploration and imagination. Walking shoes are a must.
