An easy 20 minute walk from Floriade along the lake front. Great place for lunch and coffee. Try the kimchi jaffle. Strange … but good.

Sightseeing

Well worth the 20 minute walk from Floriade long the lake, or short drive, to see some of the history and wonders of Australia. Allow plenty of time. It is also FREE (special exhibitions sometimes have an entry fee).

An amazing space to sit back with a drink and some food at the end of a long day. The vibe is chilled and if you have some energy left you can catch a movie in the Palace Electric Cinema down stairs.
