The amazing Deserted Melbourne Flickr page
Mark BaljakOctober 27, 2014
Sometimes sheer luck points you toward the exceptional and fascinating. That's the case with Urban.com.au's recent 'discovery' of a Flickr page dedicated to Melbourne arguably at its most barren.
Deserted Melbourne Postcode 3000 deals solely with images of Melbourne, the city, without the people who inhabit it. From below ground to street level to vantage points up high, all angles are covered during all times of day and night by this impressive corner of Flickr.
As the CBD morphs into a 24 hour city due to an ever ballooning population, opportunities will become more scarce to snap Melbourne at rest, which makes these images all the more remarkable!

Mark Baljak was a co-founder of Urban.com.au. He passed away on Thursday 8th of November 2018 after a battle with cancer. He was 37.
Mark was a keen traveller, having visited all six permanently-inhabited continents and had a love of craft beer.
One of his biggest passions was observing the change that has occurred in Melbourne over the past two decades. In that time he built an enormous library of photos, all taken by him, which tracked the progress of construction on building sites from across metropolitan Melbourne.
