The perfect Melbourne itinerary for families 09 June 2021 . BY Leigh-Ann Pow
From quirky neighbourhoods to iconic sporting venues to graffiti-daubed laneways, the Victorian capital is a riot of activity and colour worthy of a city considered by many to be one of the best in the world.
Day one
Morning
Any exploration of Melbourne really needs to start in the heart of the city, which is considered by many as one of the most liveable in the world. The best way to get your bearings for further exploration is by jumping on a tram, which is actually free to ride within an inner-city grid. While the modern trams are all sleek and air-conditioned, the vintage trams on the circle line around the city are a little more evocative (and also free).
The chase started after police found an unregistered Mercedes Benz on William Street about 3.30am Saturday.
Police allege the car fled before running a red light and stopping in Little Bourke Street, where the five people inside took off on foot.
