Getting Around
Caulfield is an excellent train station as two train lines meet here so the trains are very regular. Most trains also go express from Caulfield to South Yarra which means you are at the MCG/Australian Open in about 12 minutes and in the CBD in about 15 minutes.

The #5 tram is at the end of our street and goes all the way to the CBD (it takes longer than the train but is a less crowded, more scenic way to get to town).
