	Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit is a street-based circuit around Albert Park Lake, only a couple of kilometres south of central Melbourne.
		As a result, compared to other circuits that are held on public roads, Albert Park is quite smooth as a racing surface and picturesque as there are only a few other places on the Formula 1 calendar where there is a body of water close to a racing track.
		Land around the circuit (including a large aquatic centre, a golf course, a football stadium, some restaurants and rowing boathouses) have restricted access during the grand prix weekend.
