QUEEN VICTORIA BUILDING

Queen's Victoria Building is an ornate Romaneque Revival style building which is commonly known as QVB.  The building consists of 4 main shopping floors of cafes, restaurants and retail shops.  We had a great time in the building window shopping and eating, where we spent half a day there.

Underground passageways lead off to Town Hall Station southern end, and to a food court at the north.


Stain glass windows allow light into the central area of the building


Great Australian Clock includes 33 scenes from Australian history.  An oboriginal hunter circles the exterior of the clock continuously, representing the never-ending passage of time.


Royal Clock activates on the hours


It displays 6 scenes of English royalty
