Beneath the Iconic Dome: A 360° View Inside Flinders Street Station
City of Melbourne

Flinders Street Station is more than just a central hub for commuters; it's a Melbourne icon steeped in history. Opened in 1910, it stands as the oldest railway station in Australia and has been a focal point of the city for over a century. The station's design was the result of an architectural competition held in 1902, won by James Fawcett and H. P. C. Ashworth, whose Edwardian Baroque style captured the imagination of Melburnians with its grand arches, sweeping staircases, and the now-iconic dome. 

The dome itself is a marvel of early 20th-century architecture, inspired by the grandeur of European railway stations. It serves as both a practical roof over the station's main concourse and a symbolic gateway to Melbourne, greeting millions of travelers from around the world. Underneath this dome, countless moments have unfolded — from the mundane to the monumental. During both World Wars, it was a place of tearful goodbyes and joyful reunions as soldiers departed and returned. 

The station's famous clocks, above the main entrance, have been a meeting point for generations of Melburnians. The phrase "I'll meet you under the clocks" is still commonly heard, highlighting the station's role not just as a transit point but as a gathering place for the community. 

Despite modern renovations and the passage of time, Flinders Street Station remains a testament to Melbourne's history and culture. It stands as a bridge between the city's past and its vibrant present, with the dome acting as a watchful guardian over all who pass through its doors. The 360° panorama under this dome captures more than just a space; it captures the essence of a living, breathing piece of Melbourne's heritage.
