Within walking distance from the multiple harbours in downtown Sydney, Broadway Shopping Centre…read morehouses two very famous American general merchandise retailers: Target and Kmart. I was curious how similar/different they would be from their US counterparts, so made the walk to this mall on a weekday. Broadway Shopping Centre is located in the Broadway locality of Sydney, Australia, and originally opened in 1998. It underwent major renovations in 2016, adding a food court. The names of the store are prominently displayed high on the side of the non-descript building from the outside. Since we didn't come from the attached parking garage, we had to find the external entrance. Once inside, one distinguishing feature are the very long sloped moving walkways that will take you up/down each level (instead of escalators). We stopped by specifically to do product searching, walking each level to see what was available. In a lot of ways, it's similar to a US indoor shopping mall, except instead of department stores being the anchors, here it is grocery stores and general merchandise stores.

The thing that strikes me the most about this place is that it is located in this absolutely…read moregorgeous building, or at least the frontage of the building remains as opposed to having been torn down from some modern monstrosity. The problem I found with this shopping centre though is that it can be a nightmare finding your way in, and out again, especially if you are not familiar with the area. However, it has a pretty decent number of stores, and it quite well stocked as well.

Carlo is the place you come for stuff you need not stuff you want - groceries, bread, party supplies, keys cut, contact lenses. It has everything you need to run your errands in one place. The shop owners are all pretty nice. Avoid lunchtime any day and right after work. Not just because these are the busy times and you'll find getting a park difficult but also because this is hungry time and the healthiest thing you'll find here is Oporto. On a side note, a large number of commission houses has opened around Carlo in the last 10 years. This has changed the clientele significantly but does make for good people-watching.

Also if you are driving past then there is another McDonald's and KFC outside of the centre with a drive thru.

I hadn't been here in about 18 months and wow! What a difference a make-over makes! This place…read morelooks great now. They've obviously spent quite a bit of money on it and it has everything you need under the one roof now! Lots of food options, travel agents, fashion shops, telco shops, K-Mart, Aldi, Woolworths etc. Parking is a lot easier than it was before the makeover and it's now a really nice shopping centre to come to. Close to the train station too if you don't bring a car - about a 5 minute walk. I was impressed with how it looks now. A very pleasant environment to spend some time... and dollars!

There are some good shops and then there are some to avoid and some newbies to try. Give the Coles…read moresupermarket a miss or at least the refrigerated section. Woolworths is a pretty big supermarket and generally gets most of that business. The food court has a nice sushi place for lunch. There is a new butcher that carries some deli items. The chicken shop is OK and even has garlic sauce for chicken. Harris Farm Markets is in the lower car park and is a way better option for fruit and veg than the supermarkets. Parking can be a pain and I have driven in and out some days without finding a spot. You also need to be a bit careful with the other drivers as there is poor lighting in some areas and when you combine that with people in a hurry trying to compete for a parking spot it becomes tiger country.

The whole shopping centre was redesigned a few years back but is still one of the worst designed in…read morethe area. Parking is a nightmare with a disjointed multi level car park filled with one way signs and tight turns. There are also a heap of ramps and sloped surfaces which makes for interesting viewing as people try to control full trolleys up and down hills. There are 3 main grocery stores in there; Woolies, Coles and Aldi, a heap of speciality stores and a small food court. It really is a bit small and the only good thing about it is that you can get in and get your groceries a bit quicker here than at Castle Towers. It also has a bigger range than the other neighbouring centre - Westfields North Rocks. Good for the weekly grocery shop but thats about all.
