Genteel East Melbourne is marked by stately Victorian terraces, art deco buildings and parks. Spring Street offers European-style cafes and glitzy musicals at the opulent Princess Theatre. Office workers lunch in sprawling Fitzroy Gardens, while the wide steps of nearby Parliament House are a popular meeting place. Melbourne Cricket Ground (the MCG) draws crowds for cricket and Australian football matches. ― Google
