🎢 Happy 110th birthday, Luna Park Melbourne!⁠ ⁠ On 13th December 1912, St Kilda was lit up by 15,000 lights to announce the opening of Luna Park.⁠ ⁠ Opening night saw 2,319 people walk through Mr. Moon's giant mouth, with crowds eventually having to be turned away!⁠ ⁠ 🎡 These days the institution is a tourist favourite, and is acclaimed as the world’s oldest amusement park under one management. It's also home to the Scenic Railway - the world’s oldest operating roller coaster!⁠ ⁠ Today's blog tells the story of this Melbourne icon, from opening night to today.⁠ ⁠ Read via the link in our bio 👇⁠ ⁠ 📷 Luna Park St. Kilda, 1960-1969, Maggie Diaz, H2015.31/2 - H2015.31/5-6⁠ ⁠ #SLVCollection
