That would be the way I'd do it. Before you hit Albert Park Lake, make sure you know which Racecourse (Mooney Valley and Flemington) is which and how to identify Freeway Overpass with some good surrounding features. They are really the only traps I've found going in to Essendon for the first time. The only other tracking point you'll get I'm fairly sure is the MCG and if you can't recognise that...
