Southern Cross Station has to be included in a list of the best places in Melbourne for curious tourists. In contrast with other popular railway stations, it became known thanks to its modern decoration. The building has a huge wavelike roof with a wonderful lightning. Earlier this station was called Spencer Street, after the reconstruction, the station was modernized and took a new name.
Today the modern building with an unusual roof has the best infrastructure. The station is fitted with the powerful ventilation and air conditioning systems. That’s why you can breathe deep, no matter how many people surround you. There also was made a wide system of connecting passages and escalators.
A wonderful wall painting decorates the station inside. The painting depicts the developed of the transport system in the city. It was placed there at the time of the first station, in 1978. During the last restoration, the masters decided to renew to refresh the painting. The station has everything that modern traveller wants. There you will see not only benches, vending machines but also some shops with the necessities and several cosy cafes.
