Home to a delightful array of coffee houses and gift shops, the Block Arcade is one of Melbourne's best kept secrets. I stumbled upon it quite by chance after visiting the Post Office.
Located in hip multicultural West End, the Three Monkeys Café on Mollison Street has been welcoming patrons for decades with its low lit atmospheric interior evocative of a middle eastern bazaar, with walls emblazoned with framed signed posters of artists and entertainers from the nearby Queensland Performing Arts Centre. Also featuring a garden exterior, the Three Monkeys is without a doubt one of Brisbane's most famous places to have a coffee and also has a wide selection of delectable cakes and standard café fare. Highly recommended.
There are various means of getting into Broadbeach and the rest of the Gold Coast after alighting at Gold Coast Airport. Of these, the 777 Gold Coast Airport to Broadbeach Express bus will take you into Broadbeach South Station, connecting you to the light rail network to Surfers Paradise, Southport, Griffith University and Gold Coast University Hospital, with the extension to Helensvale Railway Station (for rail connections to Varsity Lakes or Brisbane) being completed late 2017. The journey takes approximately 40 mins, and you can pay the bus driver in cash for a single journey or use a TransLink Go Card for a discounted fare. Go Cards can be purchased and topped up at the Airport or most 711 stores on the Coast. For timetable and fare information ring TransLink on 131230, accessible 24 hours a day. Alternately access the TransLink Info website at http://www.translink.com.au /.
Mr Tulk, the State Library of Victoria's coffee shop welcomes an eclectic number of patrons to its benches, and has two entrances, one directly to the left after entering the Library, and an adjacent street entrance. Here I am enjoying an almond milk cappuccino - $1 extra for the almond milk.
