Eastern Hill in East Melbourne is where the city meets the suburbs.  
Focussing on Eastern Hill, fellow local resident and academic Roger Smith, will talk 
on the interrelationships between landscape and people, as they apply to this 
significant physical feature that lies immediately adjacent to the city of Melbourne. 
From the indigenous Kulin Nation occupiers, through the colonial settlers, to the 
contemporary occupants, Roger will explore the changing use of the land and the 
built environment that we now have, including the juxtaposition of the churches and 
the cathedrals of commerce at our end of town.
