Little Bourke Street, Melbourne

Little Bourke Street, Melbourne

Little Bourke Street (often abbreviated as Lt Bourke St), a street in the central business district of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, runs roughly from east to west within the Hoddle Grid. For internal-combustion vehicles it serves as a west-only one-way road. The street intersects with Spencer Street at its western end and Spring Street at its eastern end.Melbourne's Chinatown, which extends between the corners of Swanston and Exhibition Streets, comprises a major feature of the street. During a busy day, Chinatown, with its numerous Chinese restaurants and Chinese grocery stores, appears indistinguishable from a street in Hong Kong or in China.

The Mercure Hotel Welcome stands on Little Bourke Street. Major department stores such as Myer and David Jones also have entrances from Little Bourke Street. Besides that, the back entrance of GPO Melbourne is also on this street. Higher-end restaurants are found on the stretch between Exhibition Street and Spring Street.
