The Spencer Street Station was just remodelled a few years ago and it looks fantastic, on the corner of Flinders St and Spencer Street the station has wave like structures, that house the train terminals. Walking away from Flinders Street along Spencer, just past the station there is a set of stairs that takes you across to Telstra Dome. Just go up and across the bridge.

Spencer street is really the business end of the city, I used to work down near Spencer Street on Collins St and there are cafes and eateries open during the day but after 6pm and on the weekends there isn't much life down this end of the city. Although if you head across the bridge over the Yarra River you get to the start of South Bank, a nice strip of restaurants and shops which is a lively area. If you keep going you will reach Crown Casino, this street soon becomes Clarendon Street and if you catch a tram along here it will take you all the way to Albert Park lake where they hold the Grand Prix year as well as plenty of other events and there is Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Center - they held events for the Commonwealth Games there.
