About East Melbourne

East Melbourne is an inner suburb immediately east of the Melbourne CBD, at postcode 3002, about 2 km from the city centre. It is one of Melbourne's smallest and most historic suburbs, bordered by Spring Street to the west, Punt Road to the east, Alexandra Parade to the north, and the Yarra River to the south. The suburb is home to the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Brunton Avenue, Melbourne Park where the Australian Open is held, Fitzroy Gardens on Wellington Parade, and St Patrick's Cathedral on Gisborne Street. It is predominantly residential with heritage listed homes lining streets like Hotham, Powlett, and Clarendon. East Melbourne sits outside the Free Tram Zone but is served by trams on Wellington Parade and Jolimont Station provides rail access near the MCG. The dense traffic around MCG and Melbourne Park event days makes taxis a common choice for getting in and out quickly, and for airport travel where a direct ride is preferable to a multi leg public transport journey. Silver Taxi covers East Melbourne for airport transfers to Melbourne Airport and Avalon Airport, with fares starting from $60 to $66. We also handle corporate transfers, medical appointments, and late night or early morning bookings. Call 0412 456 588 any time.
