Transportation System
Melbourne city is very well connected by public transport, so unless you are living in the suburbs and travelling to another suburb, I won’t recommend taking out car. You don’t want to deal with traffic or parking troubles, do you?

Shopping in Melbourne
Going to watch a Cricket ground requires a bit of preparation. Don’t forget to carry, a broad brim hat, a pair of sunglasses, a sunscreen lotion, a mobile phone with a good camera. You never know you might meet a cricketer on the ground, and a perfect opportunity to get their autograph may arise. You might regret not carrying an Autograph bat along. It is a good idea to carry, an extra layer of clothing in case it gets cold in the summer season, and an umbrella for unexpected rain, says Mick from CBC.
You need to be mindful that the city will be crowded if any sports are being played in MCG, AAMI Park or Etihad stadium. Trains run till late so you are covered there. Though Melbourne is 6th safest city in the world, caution is always advisable. Low crime doesn’t mean No Crime, so avoid walking alone in night.
