fantastic pics, its post 2000 i belive, 1st pic i can see a black bug

the phantom of the operah, thats like 2004/o5 !

^^^

A building on William Street that was renovated in 2003 was still unrenovated in many of these pics so the majority are mainly 1998-2002. The Eastern CBD shot seem to be from 2003.

What a gorgeous city you have.

yeah that first pic can't be too new tho because that "Yes! Optus" sign is now, and has been for a while, an electronic scrolling channel 7 news bar w/ TV....

nice photo's. Some really nice old school building's there aswell. It look's like there's heaps to do in melbourne.

Does anyone have any other old photos of Melbourne Central, similar to this one?

i didnt know there was an old mc

Probably not quite what your after City Thing since it's not really the shopping centre bit but I found these quite interesting nonetheless.

I think the old MC actually looks much nicer. They should have kept the old chain on the clock too
