Marvellous Melbourne And Me

A rare glimpse into Melbourne of the 20th Century.

Bruce McBrien has enjoyed a virtual love affair with Melbourne and its environs almost since the day he was born.

His family’s social standing gave Bruce a rare perspective on Melbourne life, as is illustrated through his many brushes with iconic politicians and celebrities over the years.

He spent much of his life working as a musical theatre actor and is a passionate supporter and long-serving volunteer of the National Trust of Victoria. Marvellous Melbourne and Me details not only the varied life of the man, but also that of his city.

Includes a rare collection of photographs, artefacts and memorabilia.
