    KereKere Green

    Pick up a flat white and a pastry at KereKere Green. It is a calm start before the evening crowds arrive.

  2. 20:13

    Melbourne Cricket Ground

    Walk 15 minutes to the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Find a seat near the boundary or a spot on the grass facing west. The sun sets toward the WSW, giving you a clear view of the sky changing color behind the stadium.

  3. 21:13

    The London

    Head to The London pub just 15 minutes away. It is a large tavern with plenty of space to sit. Order a drink and watch the sports on the screens while the buzz of the evening settles in.

Local tip

The London can be very crowded during big sporting events. If a game is on, go earlier or be prepared for a wait. KereKere Green is open until 16:00 on weekdays and weekends, so this plan works best on a day when you can arrive in the late afternoon for the golden light.
