About the artist
Peter Campbell is a retired architect who loves to draw and paint.
His Brisbane-based grandchildren call Geelong the "City of Dreams", as many others do.
Their love of Geelong inspired Peter to draw familiar sites – like The Carousel and Steampacket Gardens - for them to colour.
Peter wishes to acknowledge that these buildings are located on Wadawurrung Country.
Some history about the featured sites
Old Geelong Post Office
The Old Geelong Post Office is one of Victoria's largest regional Post Offices.
Originally built in 1889-90 by David Kinnaird, it was designed by the Public Works Department in Victoria. The architects were J.H. Marsden, assisted by J.H. Brabin.
The clock and chimes were drawn on in 1911 to honour King Edward VII.
Known as the centre of Geelong's communications network, the Post Office established the first automatic telephone exchange in the southern hemisphere in 1912.
