About this place Victorian Pride Centre & Australian Queer Archives
The Victorian Pride Centre opened in 2021 on Fitzroy Street, St Kilda, as Australia's first purpose-built LGBTQIA+ community building. Its curved, multi-level design houses community organisations, gallery spaces, a theatrette and rooftop areas, and it's free to walk in during opening hours.
The main draw for history buffs is the Australian Queer Archives, founded in 1978 and now holding over half a million items, the largest LGBTIQ+ collection in the country. The volunteer-run reading room opens to researchers and the public by appointment, so email ahead. St Kilda is a short tram ride from the CBD.

Simply Amazing, the "Sharpie Building". though I couldn't locate the telescope. I can't believe it's been there since last 5 years, Since COVID -19 this place must have seen few Sharpies. It has everything from every corner, different dimensions. An Architectural Marvel of St Kilda. Close your eyes and watch F1 from the rooftop bar. I love the ambience, "watch your step" was missing.
