Grab a coffee and a slice of cake at Le Bon Choix. The bakery is open until 5 PM on weekdays and 5 PM on weekends, so you have time to settle in before the rush.
17:35
Walk to Centenary Place. Find a spot on the grass or the benches where you can see the CBD skyline to the west. The park is quiet and shaded, perfect for waiting out the last bit of afternoon heat.
17:55
Watch the sunset. On 15 October, the sun sets toward the west at 17:55. The light turns golden around 17:24, giving the heritage park and the city skyline a warm glow.
18:40
Head to The Empire for a drink. It is a six-minute walk away. The long balcony offers a view of Brunswick Street, and the atmosphere is lively without being pretentious.
