"The Streets of Melbourne" was produced through the combined talents of photographer, Joe Murray and journalist, Peter McIntosh. They teamed up in 1980 to form Photostory Pry Ltd, a company specialising in projects requiring the skills of a photographer and writer.
In 1981 their "City Walk" concept, a series of pictorial panels linked in a walk, was adopted by the Melbourne City Council. Since its success, they have concentrated mainly on projects with a historical theme.
As a contribution to Victoria's 150th Anniversary, the Australian Oil Industry commissioned Photostory to carry out Walk projects in Melbourne, Bendigo, Swan Hill and Port Fairy, and to produce this book, "The Streets of Melbourne".
