love, chrystal 
I love that the Shot tower used to be Melbourne’s tallest building and the builders got underneath it, re-blocked it and encased it in the glass tower when they built Daimaru!
Time poor, working mother of two = a love of Melbourne Central as a one stop-shop – all my faves are under the one roof!
Natural light through the glass ceiling, the shot tower standing on guard. The underground right there, the vast array of shops, the tourists watching the clock perform… I love the overall Melbourne Central experience!
I love how a dose of Melbourne Central window shopping on the way to the train station removes the stresses of my work day… and steels me for the train commute home!
It’s great that one can shop for fashion, eat, go the movies, buy groceries, or get one’s hair cut all under one roof! Melbourne’s unpredictible weather need not matter when stopping by Melbourne Central. Love it. PS thanks for the write up on Melbourne Central’s One Day Shopping Festival.. didn’t know about that!
The atrium is glamorous,
The architecture is fabulous,
The centre is exciting,
Its stores are inviting,
The exhibitions are majestic,
And the shopping is fantastic!
