coburg

Inner Northern suburb of Melbourne, in between Brunswick and Fawkner. Populated by a diverse ethnic population, including Lebanese, Turkish, Greek, Italian and Slavic. Formerly a working-class area, but becoming fashionable due to its proximity to Brunswick and Sydney Road.

Let's head to Coburg and have a meal on Sydney Road.
