Venue

 

The 2005 Multicultural Cup was held at Optus Oval in Carlton.

 

The last suburban ground with a 35,000 capacity, Optus Oval has been Carlton's home venue, training base and administrative headquarters since the club entered the competition in 1897.

 

Optus Oval is situated in Princes Park, adjoining the Melbourne General Cemetery and Melbourne University, about 3 kilometres north of the Melbourne CBD. It’s reasonably well-served by public transport from the city.

 

Trams
Nos. 18 and 19 run north along Elizabeth Street, into Royal Parade, direct to Optus Oval.
Nos. 1 and 16 run north along Swanston Street, into Lygon Street. Alight at McPherson Street, just past the cemetery, and it's a five minute walk to the ground.

 

Trains
Catch the Upfield line train from Flinders or Spencer Street stations to Jewel Station. From there it's a five minute walk to the ground.

 

Car
There is ample car-parking available in Princes Park and Royal Park.
