Melbourne's most iconic neighbourhoods | Footscray

Just west of Melbourne and an easy train (or tram) ride away is Footscray, a foodie's paradise with an artistic influence.

Once a centre for southern European migrants, these days Footscray is home to Chinese, Vietnamese, and increasingly, North African immigrants and their gastronomic traditions.

Chances are you'll find yourself in Footscray on the trail of a highly anticipated arts event. The local arts scene is led by the dynamic Footscray Community Arts Centre, situated on the banks of the Maribyrnong River. The precinct features theatre performances, workshops, a bar, cafe and gallery spaces.

The late 90s was an interesting time; guessing that’s all changed now ..

It's definitely not 20 min from the CBD. More like 10.

Isn't Footscray the place where you can get stabbed or robbed? Also, when I was younger I used to buy fireworks. Good times.

This is BS. You ask people to go to Footscray and you did not show anything about Vietnamese Culture.
Who commissioned this video. Lol.
No, I am not Vietnamese. I have many friends who are Vietnamese.
The least you can do is to show a Pho noodle shop. Lol.
