The inspiration behind Victoria Street’s play tower
Did you know that the giant play tower at Victoria Street playground is inspired by Manningham’s historic Doncaster Tower? Built by Alfred Hummel in 1879 and located at the top of Doncaster Hill, Doncaster Tower became a popular lookout offering stunning panoramic views and attracting visitors from all over Melbourne.
Although the tower was demolished in 1914, its legacy continues at Victoria Street playground. For more interesting information, including a scale model of the tower, stop by Schramm’s Cottage Museum, off Victoria Street in Rieschiecks Reserve.

This exhibition is no longer showing in the Manningham Art Gallery.
On in Manningham Art Gallery's Curio display window, this small exhibition of works by Anni Hagberg and Rhys Cousins extends the artists' recent exhibitions in the gallery, exploring and playing with materials in innovative and exciting ways.
The display pairs silk prints of finely detailed photographs of non-descript textures by Cousins with a collection of amorphous ceramic and mixed media objects created through experimental firings by Hagberg.
Together, the items speak to the artists' shared interest in everyday, discarded or otherwise forgotten materials and surfaces of modern urban environments and how they interact in myriad ways.
Curio is accessible at the south-eastern corner of Manningham City Square (MC Square), 687 Doncaster Road, Doncaster VIC 3108.
