Don’t be fooled by its age; North Melbourne is home to a young and ethnically diverse crowd who feed the vibrant culture of the area.The Arts House hosts part of the Festival of Live Art and dance festivals, and Errol Street transforms into a festival space for the annual Spring Fling. While also boasting the birthplace of one of the Australian Football League’s oldest teams, the Kangaroos, whose home ground remains next to the North Melbourne Recreation Centre. North Melbourne once had the most pubs per capita in Australia, and many still thrive, but now it is known for its bounty of brunch spots, from foodie-worshipped Auction Rooms to the sprawling tables of Hot Poppy.

A Day in the Life in North Melbourne LISTING OFF THE AMENITIES OF NORTH MELBOURNE DOESN’T DO IT JUSTICE. IMMERSING YOURSELF IN THE DAILY LIVING OF THE AREA IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET A TASTE OF THE LIFESTYLE NORTH MELBOURNE OFFERS.
MORNING
When you’re ready to rise and shine on a Saturday morning, make the most of the parklands dotted around you. Go for a run through Royal Park where paths lead around the Melbourne Zoo and playgrounds where you’ll be joined by dogwalkers and the sound of rosellas and cockatoos. A swim isn’t far away either, with the North Melbourne Recreation Centre behind Clayton Reserve a five minute walk from Arden Gardens. With exercise out of the way, an indulgent breakfast is your next destination. Many make the pilgrimage to Auction Rooms on Errol St, but there’s 50
no need to wait for a table in North Melbourne with more than a dozen cafes around the main strips. While all your main groceries are taken care of with the Woolworths downstairs at Arden Gardens, locally sourced fresh produce is a five minute tram ride down to the Queen Vic Markets; you’ll be back here for a gozleme at the Wednesday Night Markets.
AFTERNOON If you’re in the mood for some shopping, the CBD is a leafy 40 m inute walk or 15minute bike ride, but you don’t have to head into the heart of the city.
With its proximity to the city and other northern suburbs, it’s no surprise North Melbourne is a cycling district, and its catered to with Lekker, Pony Bikes and Reid Cycles.
Martin Fella on Queensberry Street is consistently one of the best vintage stores with unique finds shipped in from the US and other interesting classic designer selections. Across the road, Ace Antiques has your next timeless statement piece for your home. Crate diggers can sift through records at Heartland Records.
The Lithuanian Club is also regularly home to indie design markets, including during the annual Spring Fling Festival in October when Errol Street is shut off to cars and 120 stalls deck the strip. While the historic Meat Market down the road features wine and foodie events, music and exhibitions.
NIGHT TIME Having been around for 150 years, yet still an up-and-coming suburb, North Melbourne is used to offering something for every whim. For something to do, the flashing sign of the Comic’s Lounge is hard to miss and is often visited by well established comedians testing out new material. At the Arts House connected to the Town Hall not the pub a regular contemporary and cutting edge arts scene bubbles away including theatre, installations and dance. It is one of the locations for
the Festival of Live Art in March and Australia’s only contemporary dance festival Dance Massive. If you’re not ready to head home, there are plenty of places to hang your hat around the main strip before wandering home. But if you are, in less than ten minutes you’ll find yourself at home, putting your feet up on the couch.

5 Reasons Why the Locals Love Melbourne For six years straight, Melbourne has been crowned the World’s Most Liveable City but Melburnians have known that fact for much longer. It’s Australia’s cultural capital and while five reasons are listed below, there are plenty more within and outside the city boundaries which make Victoria the best state to live in.
54
1
THE ARTS AND CULTURE KEEP THE CALENDAR FULL
Melbourne has a reputation as a street art destination and for its art, theatre and dance. The National Gallery of Victoria hosts world class exhibitions yearround. Other cultural institutions include the State Library and the world heritage listed Royal Exhibition Building, across the way from Melbourne Museum. Each of the buildings become canvasses for projections and light during the all night White Night festival.
2
SPORT: THERE’S NEVER AN OFFSEASON
Much like the arts, the sports culture of Melbourne never takes a season off. Summer’s Australian Open heats up Rod Laver Arena, while the cricket takes up residence at the Melbourne Cricket Ground - the homeland of Aussie Rules. The Grand Prix comes to Albert Park and of course, the Melbourne Cup at Flemington Racecourse every November.
3
GOOD FOOD IS ALWAYS CLOSE TO HAND
Melbourne’s coffee scene is as entrenched as its laneways, and for foodies, the city has some of the country’s best restaurants and food events. And surrounding the city limits are regional Victoria’s food baskets from the Yarra Valley to Otway Ranges.
4
A WEEKEND AWAY OR DAY TRIP IS ALWAYS ON THE CARDS
One of the many benefits to being a Melburnian is how easy it is to be a tourist in your own state. Incredible trips are less than a day’s drive away and come in many shades, whether you’re up for a hike or a romantic escape.
5
LIVE MUSIC EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK
You can get a real feel for a city through its live music. Cutting edge music of every persuasion can be heard not only in the CBD, but in inner city suburbs such as Richmond, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Prahran and North Melbourne. The thriving music scene is supported by 24 hour public transport on weekends.
55
