Melbourne Central is a diverse shopping and dining destination that invites you to keep exploring.
Bringing together more than 300 retailers over five levels, Melbourne Central is home to a range of flagship stores, including General Pants, Nike and Adidas Originals.
The buzz continues after dark with Hoyts Cinema, B. Lucky & Sons, Strike Bowling, The Pancake Parlour and Asian Beer Café on Level 3. Spanning two city blocks, the centre boasts several unique architectural features including the giant Marionette Watch hanging in Shot Tower Square, famous for its hourly rendition of the Australian anthem 'Waltzing Matilda'. The square is named after the historic Coops Shot Tower a bullet-making facility built in 1889. Today, the brick shot tower stands proudly in its original place, protected by a modern twist: the magnificent Glass Cone, designed in the '80s by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. While it floods the centre with natural light, the Glass Cone's design also makes it one of Melbourne's most recognisable landmarks.
Melbourne Central is convenient to get to, being located atop the City Loop, with Melbourne Central train station accessible via Lower Ground, and the free city circle tram route at the centre's doorstep. Melbourne Central boasts 822 car parks making it the perfect base for Melbourne city excursions.
The parents' retreat offers a sanctuary for families, while The Little Library free book exchange and Link Bridges provide spaces for pause and escape from the city's frenetic buzz. Whatever brings you to Melbourne, be it shopping, exploring, lunch, brunch or simply an unexpected adventure, it is all waiting between Lonsdale and La Trobe.
KULIN COUNTRY
We acknowledge the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Melbourne Central resides.
We acknowledge the Elders past, present and emerging. Melbourne Central rests on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people, who are part of the Kulin Nation.
The Kulin Nation’s collective territory extends around Port Phillip and Western Port, up into the Great Dividing Range and the Loddon and Goulburn River valleys. This vast and abundant land provided everything the Kulin needed, including food, water, medicine and shelter, and they treated it with great respect and care.
The Kulin sustained themselves by fishing, hunting and gathering from the rich food sources of Port Phillip and the abundant grasslands surrounding this area.
Melbourne Central extends a warm welcome to all First Nations people and we pay our respect to their ongoing connection to land, water and community.

Visitors to the zoo can take a bus tour, which normally lasts 35–40 minutes, multiple times a day, and takes up to 140 people per bus. The safari tour includes hippopotamus, plains zebras, common elands, nyala, waterbucks, giraffea, ostriches, southern white rhinos, American bison, blackbucks, Przewalski's horses, dromedary camels and scimitar oryxes.
The zoo has a simulated African village, with educational and entertaining features, including a mock scenario of an African ranger and his adventures tracking lions, and an interactive soundscape walk with simulated lion sounds surrounding the walker. There are two independent trails that visitors may follow: the Pula Reserve Walking Trail which focuses on African animals, including the lions, vervet monkeys, a cheetah, a serval, African wild dogs, meerkats, leopard tortoises, Dumeril's boas, western lowland gorillas and the Australian Journey Walk, which focuses on Australian animals, like koalas, emus, eastern grey kangaroos, tammar wallabies, brolga and orange-bellied parrots.
There is a Learning Centre, which teaches more about the history and geography of animals in their environments.
Visitors can also book various "specialty" tours, including the Off Road Safari, or close encounters with gorillas or giraffe.
Werribee Open Range Zoo also has an animal/adoption sponsorship program, which is used for gifts and other altruistic purposes.
In April 2008 it was announced that a theme park known as African Safari World was proposed, by Warner Village Theme Parks to be built within the grounds of the zoo. On July 1, 2008 the proposed theme park plans were indefinitely postponed, the Government citing the potential $100 million cost to the taxpayer as the reason they were postponed.

Our history
Established in 1854 as the Melbourne Public Library, State Library Victoria is Australia's oldest public library and one of the first free public libraries in the world.
Our founders believed that access to knowledge was critical for the development of a civil and prosperous community, and created the Library as 'the people’s university' – a place of learning and discovery for all Victorians. They also charged the Library with preserving Victoria's heritage by collecting items of historical and cultural significance for future generations.
These are responsibilities that remain a critical focus today. Each year we add more than 70,000 heritage items to the Library’s rich collection and lead the sector with our ambitious digitisation programs. We also work hard to adapt and remain relevant to our Library users, as well as reach out to new audiences. As a result, Library patronage has continued to increase, with almost two million physical visits to the Library annually and over 4.3 million annual online visits.
Our vision
We want the Library to be a place for all in a changing world and to inspire possibilities. We want to be a cultural and heritage destination for Victorians, and a catalyst for generating new knowledge and ideas.
The State Library will make a major contribution to the continuing development of a knowledge and creativity-based economy for Victoria, and a socially and culturally rich society.
We aim to:
play a greater part in the lives of our increasingly diverse community
be the cultural and knowledge centre of Victoria through our collections, programs, events and debates
open up the riches of our collections to a vast range of audiences
bring the world to Victoria
be a leader in digital library developments
We will be true to our vision by reaching out to and engaging with an increasingly diverse community – a community of all ages that includes researchers, students, families, young and lifelong learners, culture creators and seekers, and regional Victorians.
We want our resources to be available both on-site and online, through our physical facilities and improved digital access, tools and communication.
This vision, as well as our goals, values and strategic direction from 2020 until 2024, are covered in our strategic plan. Find out more about the Library's strategic plan.
Vision 2020 redevelopment project
The State Library's five-year Vision 2020 redevelopment project transformed our public spaces, programs and facilities to better meet the changing needs of the community. The $88.1 million project was supported by funding from the Victorian Government and philanthropic contributions.
The Library building is open 10am-6pm daily.

The Puffing Billy Railway is a 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge heritage railway in the southern foothills of the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne, Australia. The railway was one of the five narrow gauge lines of the Victorian Railways which opened around the beginning of the 20th century. It is close to the city of Melbourne and is one of the most popular steam heritage railways in the world,[1] attracting tourists from Australia and overseas. The railway aims to preserve and restore the line as near as possible to how it was in the first three decades of its existence, but with particular emphasis on the early 1920s.
The primary starting point is Belgrave station which houses the railway's operations and administration centre. The line runs through Lakeside Station where a visitor information centre provides catering and an indoor interpretive space.[2] The south-eastern terminus is Gembrook railway station. In 2022 the railway also returned the traditional Puffing Billy Railway dangling of legs[3] from the train carriages which is a core part of the charm of the railway. Highly Recommended

Where: 3/59 Bourke St, Melbourne
The perpetual rooftop garden party that is Madame Brussels is the perfect place for gin-based frivolity. The terrace bar is a riot of fake grass, pastel-coloured lawn chairs and parasols where drinkers order punches such as gin garden (London dry gin, fresh cucumber and elder flower cordial, apple juice and soda) or sangria (red wine, brandy, citrus and strawberry).
