Coode Island is a former island at the convergence of the Yarra and Maribyrnong Rivers, 4 km west of central Melbourne, Australia. The island was formed by the excavation of the Coode Canal in 1887, and became connected to the mainland in the 1930s.[1] Today the low-lying land is part of the Port of Melbourne, and is used as the site of Swanson and Appleton Docks and their associated container storage and rail yards, as well as a number of chemical storage facilities. Currently this is the site of a major outdoor infrastructure project, the Westgate Tunnel. Designed to ease traffic on the Westgate freeway and bridge. One of several projects, that explore photography as evidence amongst other ideas.
