About this audio guide
This guide to Bourke Street Mall in Melbourne opens on an ordinary Friday lunchtime, shoppers everywhere and trams gliding through the crowd, until a stolen car left the road. It reaches back to how this pedestrian strip came to share its ground with trams in the first place, an idea from 1964 that only opened, car-free, in 1983 with a royal opening by Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Watch the trams glide past on routes 86 and 96, still weaving between shoppers today.
