Looking back across the edge of Federation Square towards the city; Flinders St. Station on the left and the visitors' info booth centre-right, with the Australian Grand Prix poster on the side.

Light standards hang over the square for night time and decoration during the day. This view is actually looking across the river, with the needle tower of the Arts Centre at left and Eureka Tower on the right.

Originally the State Theatre, built in 1929, in a wild Moorish style including minarets. It was the largest theatre in Australia when built, but converted into a cinema and renamed the Forum in 1963. They renovated it again in 1995 and nowadays the Forum a busy concert and cinema venue, across the street from Federation Square.
