The Old Quadrangle is one of the most photographed spots on the University of Melbourne campus, with students and tourists alike posing under its iconic archways.  The romantic European architecture feels like you've been transported to the set of Hogwarts, but did you know that the stones used to create this effect were stolen from Indigenous lands in Tasmania?  Reporter Giulia Scenna investigates the history of our campus's architecture and its relationship with Indigenous Australia.  —  Interviewees:  Dr Philip Goad, Professor of Architecture at the University of Melbourne  Dr James Waghorne, Senior Research Fellow and University Historian at the University of Melbourne  Inspiration for this episode was informed by the recently published book Dhoombak Goobgoowana: A History of Indigenous Australia by Ross L. Jones, Dr. James Waghorne, and Professor Marcia Langton of the University of Melbourne.
