It is still in print and sells consistently, not only to Melbournites, but also to others interstate and overseas.īearbrass is a light, happy book divided into thematic chapters that start with a map of the city grid with the locations that are discussed in the chapter marked out onto it. Port Phillip aficionado as I am, I’m duty bound to celebrate the day, and so there I was, off to the Royal Historical society to hear Robyn Annear speaking about the writing of her much-loved book Bearbrass, which was first published in 1995 and reprinted in 2005. In a way, it’s nice that it hasn’t been commercialized and corporatized. 30th August is Melbourne Day- a little celebration that sputters along despite the huffing and puffing of our redoubtable Lord Mayor trying to breathe some life into what seems destined to be a rather low-key ceremonial occasion.
