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.
42 kilometres of uninterrupted beach make the Gold Coast a haven for sunbathers, swimmers, and surfers alike, and for a birdseye view one cannot go past Skypoint on the 77th level of Q1, just at the Surfers Paradise tram station. At Skypoint not only do you get 360 degree views, but at Bar Seventy 7, one can order meals and drinks as well as a daily buffet breakfast from 7.30am to 10.30am. Admission to Skypoint costs approximately $18, with a value for money 360 Club Annual Pass for $36, which also gets you discounts at Bar Seventy 7. The tallest building to the left of above image is Q1. Image courtesy of http://allhdwallpapers.com/surfers-paradise-amazing-hd-wallpapers-high-quality/
A relaxing way to tour Melbourne's CBD is to take the free heritage City Circle trams, which run in clockwise and anticlockwise directions from 10am to 7pm most days. Call Yarra Trams for further information.
