Our street is wide and tree lined. We know many of our neighbours and they are very friendly. The Edinburgh Gardens around the corner attract many people from surrounding suburbs, with walking/bike tracks, two children’s playgrounds, a skate park, football oval, plenty of spots to picnic, dog walking areas, and are a hub of activity on weekends. Our local pub, the Lord Newry Hotel, is a popular eating, drinking and meeting place. The tram at the end of our street is the No. 11 and runs down Brunswick St through the city to Victoria Harbour Docklands in one direction and to West Preston in the other. The tram on the next street is the No. 96 running down Nicholson St through the city to St Kilda Beach in one direction and to East Brunswick in the other. There is also another tram close by, the No. 86, which runs through High St Northcote and Thornbury to Bundoora in one direction and to Waterfront City Docklands in the other - all easy ways to get around town and see the sights of inner Melbourne. A car share service is also available nearby. North Fitzroy Village in St Georges Rd has a supermarket and a number of bars, cafes and restaurants; and in the other direction Brunswick St is full of bars, eateries, cafes, new and vintage clothing shops and other retail. There is also a public pool and gym about 200 metres away on Alexandra Pde.
