Robert Gooding at Olive’s corner in Port Melbourne

Walking through Olive’s Corner earlier this week, saw a person reading the PMH&PS book ‘Chartered Scoundrels: A Brief History of Port Melbourne Hotels‘. Couldn’t let this go unremarked and stopped for a chat.

Robert Gooding enjoys visiting Port. By 9 am he had already taken two buses and a train to get here. With the book and his camera, he was looking forward to a morning’s wandering around the Borough.

As you would know, the 2014 PMH&PS calendar also features historic Port Melbourne hotels and may still be available at our shop.
