South Island Cafe
There’s a bridge that runs from Flinders St Station to Southgate that I walk across all the time. I discovered recently that there’s a little area under the bridge that you can take the stairs down to and it brings you right up to the water level. It’s a great spot for watching the boats cruising past. WHile down there with my son, I noticed a little beach house building that was for hire.
It’s now been hired and transformed into ‘South Island Cafe’. Not a convenient location for a pram-pushing mum like me but a cool spot if you feel the need for a caffeine jolt part-way across the bridge. You’re not going to know it’s there unless you see the sign that they place just at the top of the stairs leading down. But now you know…

I’ve often like walking down that way when I used to live in the city. It seems like another world, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and incredibly beautiful and quiet late at night.

Ah great! Years ago there was a little gelati shop down there with banana lounges which was very pleasant. I’m glad it’s getting used again.
