A brief history of the Docklands Harbour.
As Melbourne began to grow as a base for sheep farming in the district, Aboriginal land was quickly overrun by cattle, which damaged traditional food supplies.
Industrialisation led to the destruction of the marshlands at the confluence of the Yarra and Maribyrnong River in the area now called Docklands. In the early 1850s, Melbourne was in the midst of the gold rush. Victoria Dock (now Victoria Harbour) was created to meet the demands of mass migration.
By 1860, Docklands was home to the West Melbourne gas works, railway industry, an explosives magazine and pottery works. Abattoirs, fellmongeries (dealers in animal skins and hides) and tanneries also set up in the area.
Construction began on Victoria Dock in 1880 and by 1908 it received around 90 per cent of Melbourne’s imports. For more than 50 years it was Melbourne’s most prolific dock, handling cargo including coal, steel, animals, wool and wheat. In the 1960s, new methods of delivering cargo in containers began to render Victoria Dock obsolete.
Today, Victoria Harbour has a very different face but its heritage as a bustling place of trade remains. It has transformed into a lively neighbourhood, where retailers sit alongside large corporate businesses, numerous food and drink outlets and residential properties. It’s a place where work, life, food and culture converge, in the very best way possible.
