Melbhenge
At about 8.30pm on Tuesday, February 7, the sunset lit up the east-west streets of our city.
In reference to the famous Manhattan event of the same nature, the spectacle was coined “Melbhenge”.
Our grid system, designed by Robert Hoddle in 1837, provided many a vantage point for Mother Nature’s show but perhaps the most impressive was William St, where Melbourne-based photographer David Brewster captured this spectacular photograph.
