Newspaper clipping about the extensive use of bluestone in Melbourne. In East Melbourne it is commonly seen in lanes, foundations, kerbstones and gutters as well as some fine early buildings such as St. Patrick's Cathedral. In Melbourne's earliest days bluestone was quarried in what is now the Fitzroy Gardens.
