Summer 2014 in Melbourne VIC, Australia
Flinders Station party style! White Night 2014

The main station building, completed in 1909, is a cultural icon of Melbourne, with its prominent dome, arched entrance, tower and clocks one of the city's most recognisable landmarks. It is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.

In 1899, a design competition was held with 17 entires. The £500 first prize went to railway employees James Fawcett and HPC Ashworth of Fawcett and Ashworth in 1899, whose design named Green Light was of French Renaissance style, and included a large dome and tall clock tower.

The Melburnian idiom "I'll meet you under the clocks" refers to the row of clocks above the main entrance, which indicate the time-tabled time of departure for trains on each line.
