'The new edition of Melbourne Dreaming is a complete revision, update and expansion of the 1997 The Melbourne Dreaming: a guide to the Aboriginal places of Melbourne. Eidelson brings to this second edition 24 years of experience as owner of Melbourne Walks and the benefit of his active participation in local Aboriginal initiatives and in raising awareness of Aboriginal presence and history among the general public. The result is a well-researched volume that both satisfies local protocols and provides a means of access to Aboriginal perspectives on the sites and histories of Melbourne and immediate surrounds.'
