Fitzroy is routinely described as Melbourne's oldest suburb, and the record largely supports it: land allotments were first auctioned off here in 1839, only four years after Europeans had occupied the area, on country belonging to the Woiworung people of the Kulin Nation. It became its own municipality in 1858, before later becoming one of the smallest local government areas in Australia, and carries a significant Aboriginal history that a tour grounded in genuine cultural context has real material to draw on.
STREAT, one of the tour's real stops, is a genuine Melbourne social enterprise rather than a conventional charity. It was founded in 2009 by Rebecca Scott and Kate Barrelle, inspired by the hospitality-training model they'd seen at KOTO in Vietnam, with the explicit aim of giving homeless and at-risk young people a real pathway into hospitality careers rather than a handout. It opened its first street food cart at Federation Square in 2010, with nine homeless young people starting hospitality training on day one; it has since trained more than 3,000 young people and served close to four million customers.
Collingwood Yards, the tour's other stop, has its own layered history: the site dates to 1871, when it opened as the Collingwood Artisans' School of Design, later becoming Collingwood Technical School (1921–1968) and then Collingwood Technical College until it closed in 2005. After sitting dormant for close to a decade, the Victorian Government's Creative Victoria agency took over the site in 2010 and redeveloped it into a not-for-profit creative arts precinct, officially reopened on 13 March 2021, now home to visual artists, musicians, and performing arts organisations.
Together, Fitzroy and neighbouring Collingwood tell the story of inner Melbourne's transformation from working-class, immigrant-heavy 19th and 20th-century suburbs into the city's creative and countercultural heartland through the 1980s and 1990s — the social enterprise and arts-precinct stops on this tour are living continuations of that same shift, not recent, unrelated additions to it.
