The Immigration Museum opened in 1998 within Old Customs House. Located on the bank of Birrarung (Yarra River), this former administrative centre of immigration and trade is a site of great historical significance and complexity.
On Thursday 10th July I have organised a trip to the immigration museum from 10.30 to 12 noon – travelling by train to Flinders Street station then either a walk / a tram ride to the venue.
It is free for all concession holders and $10 for Seniors – as we are going in via the public entrance we can get our own tickets.
Travel arrangements are as follows meet in the back carriage on the Frankston line – 9.16 train from Cheltenham ( Parkdale 9.11 / Highett 9.20).
NB. I have rescheduled this event to be in the school holidays so that we don’t have to compete with school excursions!
Afterwards I suggest a casual lunch at Brunetti’s – 250 Flinders Lane – but that is your choice.
