South Bank is a great place, and the State Library is found beside the Gallery of Modern Art. It is a beautiful building, spacious ans airy. We saw the "Floodlines" exhibition and loved it, very well done. The cafe was a good place for a coffee and a good read afterwards. More

Such a great library, really relaxing and the best place to study. Lots of space and great computer access. Get a free library card from the website or in the library so you have computer and data base access, you won't regret it! More
