Melbourne Cricket Ground

Surrounded by beautiful parklands the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is the people's ground and the heart and soul of Melbourne. It is located only minutes away from the heart of the city which is easily accessed by all forms of public transport or by a short stroll along the newly completed pedestrian bridge which connects directly to Federation Square. The MCG also features Melbourne's newly redeveloped function venue with spectacular event spaces, taking in skyline views of the city and of course over the hallowed turf.

Melbourne

With a population of more than three million, Melbourne is Australia's second largest city. It is regarded as the cultural and fashion capital of Australia and renowned for its fine restaurants. It is a true multicultural city with more than one quarter of Melbourne's inhabitants being born overseas.

Melbourne is one of the great cities of the world. Its unparalleled attractions are its gardens and parklands, food precincts, arcades and great sporting facilities. Most of these attractions are situated around the Central Business District (CBD) or within an easy tram or train ride.

Although Melbourne sprawls around much of Port Phillip Bay, the main focus for visitors is the Yarra River, which forms the southern perimeter of the CBD. The river separates the city from the Southbank development and the parklands that surround the Royal Botanic Gardens.
