About this audio guide
This guide to Southbank Promenade in Melbourne starts with The Travellers, ten stainless-steel figures gliding along the old Sandridge Bridge, and the artist Nadim Karam who set them in motion. It traces the bridge back to 1888, when it carried Australia's first steam trains, and reads the ten figures as a timeline of the people who once stepped off those trains and into the city. You'll also hear how this stretch of riverfront gave up its working wharves and dry docks for the promenade you're standing on.
