Retail heaven
It seems to be standard for Australian cities to have a pedestrian-only shopping district in the middle of the CBD - Bourke Street is Melbourne’s instance of this. The mall runs between Swanston and Elizabeth streets and apart from trams that run down the middle of the street, it is a pedestrian-only area. You’ll find the major department stores like Myer and David Jones as well as flagship stores for major retailers and countless smaller retailers.
