Carlton South sits between the Melbourne CBD and the main Carlton precinct, sharing the suburb’s rich Italian heritage and the celebrated Lygon Street dining strip. This part of Carlton borders the Royal Exhibition Building (1880) and Carlton Gardens — the World Heritage-listed site where Australia’s first federal Parliament opened in 1901 — and the Melbourne Museum is a major cultural institution at its doorstep.
