IT is 1961 and king of television Graham Kennedy is celebrating the 1000th episode of In Melbourne Tonight. Pictured with Kennedy are beaming cast members, including Philip Brady, who is still in the entertainment business as a 3AW broadcaster. The photo, from the Herald Sun archive, betrays a certain innocence as we see a youthful Kennedy and his group of clean-cut colleagues enjoying a milestone in what was still the early days of TV.

Coles Department Store. In 1914, the first Coles 'variety store' was opened in Melbourne by George Coles in Smith Street, Collingwood. More stores opened and the chain was regarded as the leader in providing value to Australian shoppers. Interestingly, the building formerly occupied by the original Coles Variety Store is now the location of a Woolworths outlet - the major competitor to Coles Group.

The Paris End of Melbourne

So why is the Eastern end of the Melbourne, particularly Collins Street, referred to as 'The Paris End'? It's a great nickname, and one you hear a lot, yet you have to wonder where it came from. What is especially Parisian about this part of the city? It's architecture and general design aren't particularly reminiscent of the City of Light, and Paris' famous arts and cultural trappings aren't mirrored here either, as they are in some other parts of Melbourne.
