At the northern end of Victoria Avenue is Victoria Square enclosing St Mary's Cathedral.[1]
South from Victoria Square, it crosses Hay Street, and is the point where St Georges Terrace and Adelaide Terrace meet. It continues south to Riverside Drive next to the Swan River.
Victoria Avenue is frequently used in the annual Channel 7 Christmas Pageant.
