Campbell's Arcade located in Degraves St subway is definitely something to see when visiting Melbourne. From a DIY magazine store and a art Gallery to a fashion shop and a Barber Campbell's arcade has something for everyone. Campbell's arcade is run by Platform artist group which also provides windows to show artist work for a month at a time.

//**GOG and MAGOG **// ﻿Gog and Magog located in Royal Arcade have been striking the time every hour on the hour since 1842. They are carved from pine and modelled <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">to the ones in India. Gog and Magog were warriors in the trojan war in 1708 and were captured by the trojans and made <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">to serve as guards at an ancient palace. //**<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 250%;">SPELL BOX **// The SpellBox Shop in the historic Royal Arcade stocks a range of spells, talismans, books, wands, exotic household items, ritual tools, magical curios and objects from all cultures, plus tarot and psychic readings. The Witch’s House, a magical spell and herbal dispensary that also hosts workshops, psychic readings, guided tours and special occasions. //**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">﻿ <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 33px; line-height: 49px;">St Paul's Cathedral **// St Pauls cathedral was built in 1884 under the supervision of Joseph Reed who designed many of Melbourne's buildings. Then in 1926 a famous American architect came to Melbourne and noticed that the Cathedral wasn't genuine, apparently the cathedral has to be the tallest building in the city, so the architect made plans for 3 spires to top the tallest building. Of course over the years technology has evolved and taller buildings like Eureka Tower were built. They decided to deliberately dirty the new spires so the would look like the rest of the building but over the years the rain has washed away the dirt to show an orange brick rather than the grey brick of the rest of the building.
