Setting off from the centre of Melbourne at Federation Square, we walk down the Yarra River and Birrarung Mar learning about Aboriginal sports and games, Melbourne’s incredible major events and venues before we arrive at the Melbourne Park Tennis Centre.

After touring the grounds of the home of the Australian Open with unique insights from a passionate local, you will get to enjoy a hit of tennis on one of the famous blue courts. (Please read exclusions related to the Australian Open and playing tennis during December and January.)

We will continue the experience by walking through the Olympic Precinct passing the headquarters of six of Melbourne’s top football teams, covering the Rugby codes, Soccer and Australian Rules, while learning about our truly indigenous football game.

Finally we will end the tour by visiting the awe-inspiring, 100,000-seater Melbourne Cricket Ground.
