Living in North Melbourne
North Melbourne · 3051 · Lifestyle guide
North Melbourne runs on a village rhythm most inner suburbs lost decades ago. Errol Street still has its 1883 town hall, its own comedy room and a coffee benchmark in the old auction house, while Queen Victoria Market, Royal Park and the Meat Market arts hall bracket the suburb's corners.
