Sir Donald Bradman Statue, Melbourne, Guida per visitatori e cosa fare nei dintorni

The Sir Donald Bradman Statue in East Melbourne, Melbourne, honours the Australian cricketer widely regarded as the greatest batsman the game has produced. It is an easy stop for cricket fans and for anyone curious about Australian sporting culture, in a district close to the city's big sporting venues.

Tips for your visit

• Allow ten to fifteen minutes for the statue itself, and more if you want to read any nearby plaques or wander the surrounding streets.
• Daylight is best for photographs, and morning or late afternoon usually gives softer light on a bronze or stone figure.
• East Melbourne sits right next to the city centre, so you can walk here or take a tram, then keep going on foot through the neighbouring parkland and streets.
• Event days in the area can bring crowds and change access, so check local event listings and current opening hours for any nearby venue before you go.
