Following the success of the Society’s first zoom meeting with presentations on the theme of “I Wish I had Been There” the following presentations on the theme of “I Was There when …” were made to the Port Melbourne Historical and Preservation Society during the Society’s Annual General Meeting on 25 August 2020.

Liana Thompson – I was there when the Council was sacked by the Liberal State Government and the City of Port Melbourne was forcibly amalgamated with the Cities of South Melbourne and St Kilda to form the City of Port Phillip.

Suzy Milburn – I was there when the last photograph of the City of Port Melbourne was taken by John Kirby. It includes citizens and Councillors assembled outside the Town Hall during the wake held for the city.

Greg Hansen – I was there about thirty years ago when Sherrie and I moved into Port Melbourne. Greg reflects on the neighbours who welcomed them and their role now welcoming new neighbours to Port
