Melbourne, she gathers strength as she goes
But where has the pleasure gardens gone
The attitude and disapproval of forgotten times linger
No more holidaying for the diggers on the hunt for a bit of fun
Private enterprise will build the bridge
A wooden toll bridge
Bluestone and granite
Then removed replaced and reinforced
Finally, the possessive apostrophe was remove
The lost and whispering magnificence of 19th-century Melbourne
