Melbourne/Footscray Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
Footscray is an inner-city suburb a few kilometres west of Melbourne's CBD.
Long a working class area due to its close proximity to the factories and warehouses of Melbourne's nearby industrial centre, it is also home to a large concentration of the city's Vietnamese population and increasingly a hub for the growing East African community, home to many immigrants from Ethiopia, Sudan and Eritrea.
Footscray is also notable as the setting of Russell Crowe's breakout 1992 film Romper Stomper, which dealt with a fictional gang of neo-nazi skinheads and their battle with the Vietnamese immigrants.
Footscray is affectionately known by some Melbourne residents as "Footsy", "Footscrazy" and "Footscary".
