Gifts, supermarket, clothes, cafe, baking supplies, photography, pizza place, fireplace shop... Wait. Fireplaces? There is a really interesting mix of shops here, selling some really interesting things. If you're tired of popping down to Chaddy, or even of shopping in other local street shopping strips like at Camberwell then I would say give Burwood Village a try. You won't be disappointed.

Asked the greeter if he knew where the mattresses were. Called a few people who didn't know. Finally asked me if I'd like to try other locations. Yes! Doncaster please.

The general theme, though, is reasonably priced women's clothing. At the moment, the supply reminds me of the sort I can find when going shopping at South Melbourne Market. That is, a mix of Caroline Morgan and slightly quirkier options - the age aimed at being mid-twenties all the way up to retirement age.
