Labassa, a grand mansion in Melbourne, has a rich history as a shelter for diverse communities. Built in 1887, it hosted high-society parties and later became a refuge for Jewish refugees after WWII. In the 60s and 70s, it was a bohemian hotspot for hippies, artists, and musicians. Now, its a National Trust property, preserving its soul and collecting personal stories that make it the heartbeat of Melbournes human saga.
