For the last 15 years or so Dale Campisi has made it his business
to get to know Melbourne. At first it was just to find the right
bar, cafe or restaurant for this or that occasion, but the city got
under his skin.
Melbourne is a city of stories. Dale got his first look into the
city’s past during his Australian history studies at university,
and went on to uncover some its lesser-known stories as publisher
of Arcade Publications’ little books about the city’s colourful
past. For a time Dale worked at the Public Record Office, and now
he blogs about the city and leads regular tours for Melbourne
Central and Hidden Secrets Tours. He also produces the annual
architecture event Open House Hobart. Over the years, he’s written
a number of travel guides to Victoria and Tasmania, most recently
Hide & Seek Hobart and Melbourne Precincts. Dale does all this
exploring with his partner Brady Michaels, whose photography
illustrates this book. Soon they’ll hit the road for a book about
Australia.
