Traveler advice
Getting around
Trams are the best mode of trasport
Our house is a two minute walk to two trams:
Tram 11 (Brunswick street) - heading north will get you to Fitzroy shopping hub on Brunswick St, walking distance to Smith Street in Collingwood, and the CBD
Tram 96 (Nicholson street) - if heading south it'll get you to CBD and Carlton Gardens
