TEA TOWEL - MELBOURNE MELWAY

NEW! Stock arriving July 2026!

From “just chuck it in the glovebox” to arguments over page numbers, the Melway was less a map and more a personality test. First released in 1966 for a whopping $2.50, it quickly became Melbourne’s most trusted and occasionally questioned source of direction.

Dubbed “the Melways” by locals who swore by it, it lived in cars, boats, and anywhere you might get lost, which was often before GPS. Whether you nailed the route like a pro or somehow ended up three suburbs away, it was always technically the map’s fault. This Iconic Melway Tea Towel is a memory of the pre-Google Maps era, when navigating required confidence and a strong ability to pretend you knew what you were doing.
