After my video on Springvale Junction one of the most requested intersections to cover next was this one - Five Ways in Mooroolbark. In this video we look at its history and how it became the way it is.

![Australias Own Car: the General Motors Holden plant at Fishermans Bend
Fishermans Bend is planned to become the largest urban renewal project in Victoria. But this precinct holds many interesting sites and stories that are important for telling the story of Melbournes and Australias history.
This video explores the huge General Motors (Holden) automobile complex on Salmon Street and Todd Road. This was one of the largest centres of Australias car research, design and manufacturing, and only closed in 2020.
I acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which this video was filmed, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people. I pay respects to Elders past, present and emerging and their extensive historical connection to land, water and country.
