100 year old Photos #11 - Melbourne, Australia
These photos are of the Melbourne Botanical Gardens, c1910. Thanks to @SkillsyOz of twitter nearly all the photos have been identified! This first photo is of The Separation Tree in Melbourne, which was planted when the citizens of Melbourne received the news on 15 November 1850 that Victoria was to become a separate colony. The tree is several hundred years old. On 15 November, 1951, a replacement river red gum was planted nearby to mark the start of the second century of self-government.

The last photo is of the Tea Rooms in the Melbourne Botanical Gardens. There is a similar picture of this at the Titanic Exhibition entrance at Melbourne Museum currently.
