Melbourne in 31 days was exhibited as part of Global Fusion at Palais Porcia, Vienna, early 2002. It was later shown in the 2002 National Works on Paper, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, Victoria and in 2003 as part of Act XII: new works on paper, George Adams Gallery, Melbourne. It was launched in Melbourne alongside 30 days in Vienna in the Victoria Room of the Melbourne Town Hall.

Many thanks to Peter Haby for generously creating the five slip cases for this book, featuring the narrowest house in New Orleans on the spine; to Paula Cowling for providing us with a delectable feast of sweet Viennese-style biscuits and shortbreads for the launch; and to the City of Melbourne for having us.
