Mount Alexander Road (and its northern section as Bulla Road) is a major road in Melbourne's inner northern suburbs, connecting the northern edges of the city district to just south of Essendon Airport.[3] It was named after its original destination: the Gold Fields of Mount Alexander, now known as Castlemaine.
