**         **    The time of the Gold Rush brought many people from other countries to mine for gold which impacted on our society and population. Its wealth gave us inspiration to build wonderful buildings such as our Parliament House, which symbolises the gold rush. It gave Melbourne its money to build other historic landmarks. **

 * From the end of the gold rush, immigration caused a huge impact on Melbourne’s society, by increasing population. Some immigrants have become famous in Melbourne by creating and designing landmarks. Others have had landmarks built in their honour such as Sidney Myer. The Sydney Myer trust fund built the Sidney Myer Music Bowl which was named after him. Immigration inspired us to build the Immigration Museum to share stories on immigrants and their journey’s. Immigration still has a big impact on Melbourne’s society by creating a larger population. Melbourne built Eureka Tower which is the world’s tallest residential building. We built this building due to the increase in population. It gives people a place to live.   **
 * The Victorians who served in World War 1 and 2 have been commemorated by Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance. It has impacted emotionally on society, particularly by the families who lost a loved one. It serves as a reminder to the community the Victorian’s who sacrificed their lives for the sake of peace .  **
 * All these outstanding landmarks help to indentify Melbourne in the same way oth  [[image:Drew_the_Jew.JPG align="right" caption="Young Sidney Myer"]]   er countries around the world have their recognisable structures. The uniqueness of Melbourne’s landmarks shows the beginnings of our wonderful state such as the Immigration Museum which is over 100 years old, right through to the futuristic look of Federation Square. These landmarks serve as a draw card for tourists to visit our state and help the economy. This in return allows us to maintain our older buildings and look towards our ever changing Melbourne. More importantly, they should serve as a symbol and constant reminder to all Victorians of how proud we should be of our achievements and progressive will to grow as a nation.    **
