It is 190 meters long and 30 meters wide, occupying an entire block. The Queen Victoria Building is a typical Roman-style structure with a mottled dark orange façade. The building is topped with a delicate glass dome, flanked by ornate stained glass windows, dense wood paneling, and a collection of well-known paintings. When you come to the mall, whether it is on the first or second and third floors, looking up, you will always see two huge treasures of the town store: "Royal Clock" and "The Great Australian Clock" ( GreatAustraliaClock). The "Great Australian Bell" is a full two storeys high and can be found on any floor. The "Royal Bell" from the United Kingdom is made of brown bricks on the upper part, beautiful badges are set on the city wall, and there are fresh and elegant dials on the four sides.
