Looking east towards Richmond with the major sporting venues. The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on the left, home to cricket and Aussie Rules football. The Rod Laver Arena and Hisense Arena in the middle, the home of the Australian Open tennis. Then AAMI Park on the right. Home to Rugby League and Football (soccer)
