From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Melbourne Docklands is a coastal area within Melbourne, Australia. Recently, much of this area has been reconstructed to become a new inner city suburb and urban renewal project in Melbourne. The Docklands precinct was originally used for docks but fell out of use following the containerisation of shipping traffic. The space remained vacant and unused during the 1980's and it fell in to disrepair. It was used for "special events" during the 1990's, becoming notable for a number of dance and rave parties.
