The F14 - Melbourne's Forgotten Freeways

The F14 was one of the longest freeways proposed in 1969 Melbourne Transportation Plan. Most of it has been built despite being officially cancelled in 1973 - it's made up of the Tullamarine Freeway, Citylink and the Monash Freeway from Melbourne Airport to Hallam in the city's south-east.

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 and continuing connection to land, water and country.
