The Melbourne Cricket Ground — the MCG — is one of the world's great sporting venues. On AFL match days, cricket Tests, and big concerts, the precinct around Jolimont and Richmond fills with tens of thousands of people. The last thing you want to be doing is carrying your luggage through that crowd. Store your bags in Melbourne CBD with Luggage Terminal first — then head to the game hands-free.
How to Get from CBD Storage to the MCG
From Luggage Terminal's CBD locations, the MCG is easy to reach:
- Tram: Routes 48 and 75 run from Flinders Street along Wellington Parade directly to the MCG precinct — about 15 minutes
- Train: Jolimont Station is one stop from Flinders Street on the Hurstbridge and Mernda lines — 5 minutes
- Walk: From the CBD it's about 25–30 minutes on foot along the Yarra River — a great option on a clear day
Why You Can't Bring Large Bags to the MCG
The MCG has a strict bag policy — bags larger than A4 size are not permitted into the venue. If you're arriving in Melbourne on event day with luggage, you need somewhere to store it before heading to the ground. Luggage Terminal's CBD locations are the perfect solution — store your bags, head to the game, pick them up on the way back through the city.
Great for Interstate Visitors
Flying into Melbourne for a big game and heading straight to the MCG? Many interstate footy fans arrive at Southern Cross or Melbourne Airport, head into the CBD, and want to drop bags before the match. Luggage Terminal makes that easy — store at any CBD location and collect on your way back to the airport or hotel.
