What: (
Tour of the Melbourne Cricket Ground)
MCG Tours depart from Gate 3 in the Olympic Stand every ½ hour. See the stunning new MCC Museum and Library as part of your tour! I was advised there was no need to make a booking; the 2:30pm tour has been planned.
Cost:
Tickets are $15; OzFest MCG tour attendees will need to purchase their tickets at the ground.
Getting there:
People can meet at the Hilton foyer ready to depart at 2pm (or go straight to gate 3 at the ground by 2:15pm). The MCG is 10 minute walk through the park from the Hilton.
Public transport can be used with either a train to Jolimont Station (
Epping or
Hurstbridge Lines) or a tram (#
48 or #
75) from the city along Wellington Parade; get off at Hilton/MCG stop.
Here is a Google Maps image of the area with the MCG and the Jolimont station clearly marked (After closing the 'address balloon'). The Hilton Hotel is immediately 'above' the
W of "Wellington Parade".
