CBD

The Melbourne CBD is laid out in a grid with the streets running NE-SW and NW-SE. Running on the NW axis the names are relatively easy to remember  - from west to east they are Spencer, King, William, Queen, Elizabeth, Swantson, Russell, Exhibition, Spring. The NE axis, from south to north, are Flinders, Collins, Bourke, Lonsdale and La Trobe. Between each of those is "Little X" immediately to the north, splitting each block up.
