A tour of the imaginary past from People's Tour on Vimeo.

A tour of fictional characters in the past inspired by places in Fitzroy and Carlton, for people who like to imagine the past.

Tour guide Bree McKilligan shows us five places that inspired stories of four fictional characters in Melbourne’s past.

We meet one character at a significant juncture in her life, another as a mischievous child with a tale of late-night subterfuge, one stopping to take in the moment in a familiar Fitzroy scene, and the last pondering life and trees and Proust.
