BGM_Chloe’s Watching Eyes: The Story of Young & Jackson
She’s been watching over Naarm - Melbourne for more than a century - from an upstairs room at one of the CBD’s most iconic pubs. In this episode of Down the Yarra, we step inside Young & Jackson and uncover the haunting, beautiful story of Chloe - the nude portrait who became a symbol of hope, sorrow, and resilience. From the pub’s late 19th century beginnings to Chloe’s scandalous arrival, wartime farewell’s, and the ghostly legends, this is a tale full of art, tragedy, and Naarm - Melbourne’s soul. Trigger Warning: This episode contains references to mental illness, suicidal, and war. Listeners discretion is advised. Next Up: we head just across Swanston St Walk to the towering St Paul’s Cathedral - where history, architecture, and sacred secrets await.
