Description:

Colonial engraving of the Burke and Wills sculpture by Charles Summers 1865 which was was originally placed at the intersection of Collins and Russell streets, and acted as a roundabout. In 1886, the monument was moved to Spring Street, outside the Princess Theatre. It remained there for almost 90 years, before being moved again in 1973 to the edge of Carlton Gardens in Victoria Street because of the planned City Loop train lines.  It again moved in 1979 to City Square and has been removed from its present location at the corner of Collins and Swanston streets for restoration.
