[edit] History

In November 1906 Dreamland was opened in St Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. It was built on an area of wasteland which included a lagoon. The lagoon had been drained in 1870 and for over 10 years it was unoccupied.

Dreamland was demolished in 1909, but in 1912 Luna Park was opened in the same area. Luna Park is still open and operating today and over the last several years has been undergoing a refurbishing. There are rides, foods, games and shops in Luna Park today.
