Brunswick (Australia)

Brunswick is an inner city suburb in Melbourne. It lies approx. 5km north-west of the CBD. Get in The two main roads from the CBD to Brunswick are Sydney Road and Lygon Street. From the City, Elizabeth St turns into Royal Parade which then turns into Sydney Road. From the City, Russel St turns into Lygon St. Although it sounds confusing, the distance traveled from the City is roughly 5km. You could probably walk to Brunswick in less than an hour and a half. By local train, catch the upfield line (which usually leaves Southern Cross & Flinder St Station in the city every 20mins) and get off at either Jewel, Brunswick, Anstey or Moreland stop. A trip from Southern Cross station to Jewel Station will take approx. 15mins.
