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.

Catherine Opie has an international reputation as one of the leading photographers of her generation. The exhibition at Heide combines key works from across her oeuvre with a focus on notions of affiliation.
It traverses Opie’s early, most recognisable works exploring constructions of gender and sexuality, through alternative conceptions of the nuclear household—chosen family portraits that transcend traditional familial ties—to more recent musings on solidarity and collective action in the face of proliferating global crises.
In 1994, Heide exhibited eighteen of Opie’s portraits in the exhibition Persona Cognita, curated by Juliana Engberg. That exhibition represented Opie’s first showing in Australia, and now almost three decades later Heide will host the first survey of the artist’s work in this part of the world.
