Oh what a strange beast the Elizabeth St Officeworks is. It's a labyrinth of ramps and steps and One Direction lanyards going cheap (you don't know how hard it is to resist picking up a bunch of these...$1 each!!!) and because of its close to Flinders St Station location it can get pretty busy in here, making it even tougher to navigate.
