A critique, homage, future vision and intimate portrait of mundane, marvellous Melbourne. A city of silence and shadows. Performance artist Leigh Bowery bursts out of Sunshine. Past and present pains arrive in trams. Ghost signs. Football. A young woman opens an all-girl garage in the 20s. A policeman's suitcase. Bats. A walking clock. A hundred years of screams. A convivial House of Bricks. Poetry. Stories past, true and new. ? Cassandra Atherton ? Peter Bakowski ? Kevin Brophy ? Gaylene Carbis ? Anne Connor ? Geoffrey Dobbs ? Helen Elliott ? Peter Ellyard ?
