Royal Arcade

If you have the time during a visit to Melbourne in Victoria, Australia then visit the Visitor Information Centre at Australia Square and get information on a tour of the lanes and arcades of the city.  The walk takes about two hours and leads to some fascinating nooks and crannies hidden away between the surrounding buildings.

The Royal Arcade is one of the largest and most beautiful in the city with its high glass roof and the clock at the southern entrance guarded on each side by the mythical figures Gog and Magog.
