Meeting and pickup
Please meet outside the Protagonist Cafe, outside the Melbourne Arts Centre. Do not wait at Hamer Hall.
We leave you at Federation Square, which is only a 2 minute walk to our starting location - but this means you are able to continue browsing the Laneways and other areas of interest here in your own time.
