Melway - Greater Melbourne Street Directory
|
First published in 1966, the Melway is a street directory which covers Melbourne and its suburbs, the Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island, Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, the Yarra Valley, part of the Macedon Ranges and some surrounding towns. It also includes public transport information, landmarks, parks, a community services directory and a touring section which has maps of Victoria and parts of New South Wales and South Australia.
The Melway is Melbourne's most popular, accurate and widely used street directory. It uses unique cartography whereby roads are rendered as a single line and colour coded depending on their type, allowing details such as separate carriageways, traffic islands and other road features to be precisely shown.
The Melway is widely available and can be purchased at many retail outlets including newsagents, office stationery shops, book stores, service stations, automotive shops and department stores.
Latest version: Edition 40, 2013 (published in July 2012).
A special edition Melway Ballarat is available from local retailers in the Ballarat area which covers this regional city's centre and surrounding suburbs.
