Federation Square
Occupying a whole city block, Federation Square is one of
Melbourne's major attractions. A cultural nucleus, Federation
Square hosts over 2,000 events a year, in its outdoor public
spaces, St Paul's Court and The Square and vibrant covered space,
the Atrium. Renowned for its unique design, the triangular shapes
that characterise Federation Square actually create an abstract map
of the Australian Federation. Affording spectacular views of the
city, Southbank and the Yarra River, visitors can not only explore
the peculiar design of this cultural precinct, but also visit the
many galleries, cinemas, museums, restaurants and shops that
surround it, most notably the Ian Potter Centre and the Australian
Centre for the Moving Image.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
