Not a huge amount has changed at the F1 pit lanes and garages over the past 21 years... but watch this space! Work has commenced on a two-year project which will see the F1 garages and Paddock hospitality areas significantly upgraded, to be ready in time for the 2028 Australian Grand Prix.

Most years Wendy Green brings Rogan Josh's Melbourne Cup trophy for a visit to Living Legends... and every time, without fail, she arrives after our tour host Tamara has left.
The delight is written all over her face as she snapped this selfie with Brew's Melbourne Cup trophy. Brew, quite fittingly, won the last Cup to be sponsored by Fosters Lager. Swipe to see the living legend himself and the brother of his trainer.

What's the saddest thing about these 2004 and 2025 photos of the Cow Up A Tree sculpture and Bolte Bridge behind? The historic Central Pier in photo 1 was removed earlier this year and is no longer a part of the scenery 😢

These 2 photos would make a fun game of Spot The Differences 🤣... so many improvements at both the MCG and Melbourne Park since 2004. Comment below if you'd like us to list them.

The MCG from Olympic Boulevard in 2004 and in 2025. The cranes seen in pic 1 were building the current Olympic Stand ready for the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

Docklands is the biggest change this city has seen in the 21 years since our founding. And it's not finished yet. Just look how much has changed already!
Any guesses on the song choice?

Albert Park and Port Phillip Bay from Level 55 of the Rialto Tower on Collins Street. The Rialto Tower was the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere from 1986 to 1991 and was home to the Melbourne Observation Deck until 2009. In 2007 Eureka Skydeck opened at the Eureka Tower. The old Observation Deck opened as Vue de Monde and The Lui Bar in 2010.

These two photos were taken from the exact same window, 21 years apart. Hopefully there's still a view of the lake from here in another 21 years time!

The intersection of Clarendon and Whiteman Streets, former home of The Colonial Tramcar Restaurant. A change in safety regulations forced the beautiful W class trams (built in the late 1940s) off the rails in 2018. In order to comply with the new regulations, each tram would need to be stripped back to its frame and rebuilt, a lengthy and expensive process. Add to that a long waiting list for the modifications to commence meant their first tram wouldn't have been seen until late 2019 at best. In early 2020, the pandemic reached Australian shores which affected Melbourne tourism for two years. An unfortunate combination of events led to a sad, gaping hole in the Melbourne tourism industry and on our tram lines. We really miss spotting those stunning burgundy trams on our travels around this great city.

A view of the MCG from Grand Slam Oval at Melbourne Park. Two major changes here in the last 21 years. Firstly, in the foreground we now have Kia Arena, the newest of the tennis arenas at Melbourne Park, was opened in January 2022. At the MCG, it might look the same but the stand we see here was renamed in March 2022 from Great Southern Stand to the Shane Warne Stand to honour one of the greatest Victorian cricketers to ever grace the ground.
