Year 9 City Week 11

The Hoddle Grid Activity 

The Hoddle Grid is 

the layout of the 

streets in the 

central business 

district (CBD) of 

Melbourne. Named 

after its designer, 

Robert Hoddle, the 

grid was laid out in 1837, and later extended. 

It covers the area from Flinders Street to Queen Victoria Market, 

and from Spencer Street to Spring Street. 

The grid was defined largely by the geography of the area. It was planned to span a 

gently sloping valley between small hills (knolls) (Batman's Hill, Flagstaff Hill and 

Eastern Hill) and roughly parallel to the course of the Yarra River. Elizabeth Street, 

Melbourne in the center of the grid was built over a gully and has therefore been 

prone to flooding. 

The wide main streets were also to accommodate the large number of bullock carts 

that would ride through the center of town preventing them from holding up horse 

drawn traffic when making right turns. 

In the 1860s, surveys extended the district, incorporating the region of similarly laid 

out streets bounded by Victoria Street, Dudley Street and the Queen Victoria Market. 

There are FIVE main streets running 

East to West (bottom to top): 

Flinders Street 

Collins Street 

Bourke Street 

Lonsdale Street 

La Trobe Street 

There are also FOUR smaller streets, or 

lanes, which separate each city block: 

Flinders Lane 

Little Collins Street 

Little Burke Street 

Little Lonsdale Street 


There are NINE main streets which 

run North to South (left to right): 

Spencer Street 

King Street 

William Street 

Queen Street 

Elizabeth Street 

Swanston Street 

Russell Street 

Exhibition Street 

Spring Street 

These are easy to remember, as 

they follow a pattern. 

Spencer 

King – William 

Queen – Elizabeth 

Swanston (in the middle) 

Russell 

Exhibition 

Spring (at the end) 

On the grid below, label the streets of Melbourne’s CBD 

LaTrobe Street

Year 9 City Week 13

Logic Matrix Puzzle 

The logic matrix tests your powers of deduction. 

This grid can help you solve complex brain teasers. Each cell in the grid represents one possible 

relationship. Put a different symbol in the box to help you solve the puzzle. 

Use the clues below to find out the answer. Put an X in the box to represent “NO” 

Use an O to represent “YES”. When you place a “YES” in a box, you can automatically fill in an X for the 

possibilities that you have just eliminated. 

Two students and two teachers met up for lunch at the Melbourne Central 

Food Court. Use the following clues to determine what each person ate, which 

house they are from and how much their lunch cost. 

Nobody shares the same house, food, or price with anyone else in the group

2. One of the females was from Hakea and the other ate a kebab. 

3. The male teacher sat on the right of the person who was from Fern, who sat 

on the right of the person who had the kebab, who sat on the right of the person 

who paid $5.60, who sat on the right of the person who was from Banksia. 

4. One teacher paid $11.90 and the other had a burger. 

5. One of the males had a burger and the other paid $8.95. 


Sudoku 

Sudoku may seem difficult at first glance, but actually it is not as hard as it 

looks! 

The aim is to fill in the whole grid – and depending on the difficulty of the 

puzzle this can be quite easy (just counting and checking), or more tricky 

puzzles require a bit more logic and reasoning. 

Fill a number in to every cell in the grid, using the numbers 1 to 9. 

You can only use each number once in each row, each column, and in 

each of the 3×3 boxes
