The Hidden Gem of North Essendon: A Village Within a City As I stepped off the tram onto Mount Alexander Road in North Essendon, I was struck by the tranquility that pervades this tiny suburb within Melbourne's bustling metropolis.
This pocket sized village is surrounded by some of the city's busiest transport infrastructure, but its residents have created an intimate and idyllic community that feels more akin to a rural town than the urban jungle it technically inhabits.
North Essendon's charm is rooted in its history and geography.
