East Melbourne’s skyline is dominated by the internationally recognized and historically significant Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, and is also home to Victorian State Government and Parliament House. Fitzroy Gardens is a popular place to take your picnic rug with Captain Cook’s Cottage, The Fairies Tree and a host of gorgeous rotundas, fountains and gardens to explore. And for those that love their sport take a trip to the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground, or MCG as it is affectionately known; home to the famous AFL Grand Final, the 1956 Olympic Games and the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
