| Ask a taxi driver to take you to Jeff's shed, and you'll likely be dropped off here, beside the river and opposite the casino, outside the big tin shed that hosts many and varied events.

 Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre Footbridge across the Yarra River. Photograph (c) Ali Kayn 2005 | The MEC has underground car parking with 24 hour access, a huge ground floor space with a floating concrete floor delivering utilities to many points throughout the exhibition hall, and meeting rooms on an upper level. Sliding wall sections can break the hall breaks into smaller sections, enabling the staging of multiple events.
|
| Large shows include the Melbourne International Motor Show
, which coincides with the Melbourne Grand Prix. The Melbourne Exhibition Centre and Melbourne Convention Centre are jointly managed, sharing staff and facilities.
The MEC is sometimes confused with its predecessor, the still active, and historically significant Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens, on the opposite corner of the central business district of Melbourne. |
