Title A name given to the resource 1853 - 1880: Laying the foundation of the Campus Description An account of the resource The University of Melbourne's Parkville campus was established in 1853. Originally it was an area of swampland which had been a food gathering area for local Wurundjeri people. After being fenced to exclude outsiders, the campus became a picturesque landscaped park into which more and more individual buildings were added. The Quadrangle, the Lake and the System Garden were the earliest developments on the University of Melbourne Parkville campus.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1856 Description An account of the resource The University of Melbourne was established on swampland, fed by creeks. A creek, known as Townend Creek, flowed along what became Elizabeth Street, out into the Yarra, it was an extension of another stream that began inside the University, and flowed down what is now Bouverie Street. Prior to European settlement, the site of the lake was a swampy area, significant to the Indigenous inhabitants, that linked into the adjacent creek (under what is now the site of the MSD Building). The creek was dammed in 1861 and the resulting lake became a central and much-loved feature of the campus; used for yabbying, mock battles and boat races, as well as being a site of protest and punishment. The lake was progressively filled in during the 1930s Initially, the areas not occupied by buildings became lawn, and then, in the late 1960s, in the wake of the 1968 revolutions overseas, as part of the “riot-proof campus”, the lawns were dug up and replaced by “a seemingly random asymmetrical selection of tiled and concrete rectangles.” This was variously known as both the Union Lawn and the Concrete Lawn, and still plays an important part in University life as a place where students meet and University events occur.
