Australia's favourite ACCA that doesn't end in 'dacca', The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art is pretty much the best place to hang out on the weekend. Apart from being Melbourne's leading contemporary art gallery, it looks like Uluru and it has a coffee machine.
You can actually spend a whole afternoon here, hanging about in the foyer, thumbing through the magazines and books for sale in the shop, ordering flat whites and sitting on a little stool reading the paper, using the Macs to research art and reading the excellent photocopied readers to further justify the sage nodding that will take place once you actually go into the exhibitions.
