The 1977 cult classic novel ''[[Monkey Grip (novel)|Monkey Grip]]'' by [[Helen Garner]] took place mostly in Fitzroy and Carlton. Many of the central characters frequent the Fitzroy local swimming pool in the summer, referred to as the "Fitzroy baths", and the heritage-listed "Aqua Profonda" sign at the deep end of the pool is the title of the novel's first chapter, used as a metaphor for the central character's deeply troubled romantic relationship with a man. The inclusion of the sign and the pool itself gave it some degree of iconic status–its use in the novel was even mentioned in the statement of significance for the sign's heritage listing in 2004.<ref>{{cite web|title="Aqua Profonda" sign, Fitzroy Pool|work=Victorian Heritage Database|access-date=11 December 2017|url=http://vhd.heritagecouncil.vic.gov.au/places/4742}}</ref>
