One thing that I should mention is that getting here by public transport is really tricky, but then…read moreagain that is sort of to be expected with some places. Yet this shopping centre is pretty huge, but once again that is also sort of to be expected, especially when you get to the outer suburbs. This place does have quite a good range of shops, and like a lot of other shopping centres, has also developed an entertainment district as well, which has cinemas, and even a couple of nice bars.

Knox shopping center is a great little center in my opinion…read more It's nothing in the likes and glam of Chadstone or Doncaster, but for a suburban shopping center it's not too bad. It offers most popular brands including; Country Road, Witchery, The Body Shop, Rebel Sport, Roger David, Taro Cash, General Pants Co and much much more. Aside from fashion, there is also a Myer department store, Target, Kmart, electrical stores and home ware stores. There are also a few large stores just outside of the shopping center (Kathmandu, JB HiFi, Goodguys and more). Knox shopping center also have a fresh veg and fruit market right in the middle of the center, this is extremely convenient as most of the time I am just passing by, and it allows me to just pick up something small without having to 'grocery' shopping. The food court here is also very large, with ample seating and variety of foods. If food courts aren't your thing, Knox City also offer a plethora of cafes and restaurants just outside the center.

Jolee Boutique stock clothes for women who like a little flair in their closet…read more In fact, the 2 ladies I know with the quirkiest wardrobes (one being my mum) both shop here regularly. Now, I'm not saying they sell gear that would be at home on Lady Gaga, but the stuff isn't your run of the mill "Mother Wear". You wont find beige. If you think your own mum could do with a wardrobe update, cleverly hint at Jolee and who knows, maybe she'll get it.

In terms of entertainment and dining, the upper level has a Hoyts Cinema, Pancake Parlour, and trendy restaurant named Balsamic on offer. If you're after clothes, there are tonnes of small stores through out and staples like Kmart, Myer and Big W are all inside. JB Hi-Fi is on the ground floor, and a Safeway for those who need to grab some groceries while out shopping. A huge food court offers a good range of cuisine, and although it's smaller than the neighbouring Knox City, there's not as many repeats, so to say.

This place is a bit of a funny little shopping centre. It's like Knox's little brother, and it's…read moredesperate to grow up to be just like dad (Chadstone). I really hope they give up trying to be a massive super-mall like those other two, because they aren't as enjoyable as they were when they were the size that Eastland is now. For god's sake, stop developing the place. Everything you could reasonably need can be found here. I really like this place quite a bit, and it's a pity that I don't live that little bit closer.

Wantirna Mall is pretty crummy. It's very old and the buildings all look quite dated. Most have…read morebeen spruced up on the inside and had big shiny signs put up overhead but it doesn't hide the signs of disrepair and age. When I last visited there were renovations happening to the walkways around the shops. It looked like they might be widening them but I never see many people there so it seemed a bit odd. There are plenty of shops to make this place entertaining for an hour or so and there is a decent selection of cafes and restaurants to choose from. I like the op shop here as the staff are just fantastic and the stock is pretty decent. There is ample parking and you will always manage to find a spot.

I think Jess below is from Torak…read more This is litrally the best mall in Melbourne. It has everything you need CHEAPER than the supermarkets and FAR better quality. The best mall I've ever had the privilidge to go to. I rave about it on Facebook and some of my friends come from 20 minutes away to shop here as it's faster than going to Westfield and better quality produce. I've never been this lucky every, this place has everything from supermarket, to butcher, to grocer, to music shop, 3 atms, a gym thai, chinese, italian and indian resturant, a party shop, two chemists.... cafes, tax accountants... and it's old style... the way all shops should be!! Takes just minutes to get everything, and you can always get a park. If you're not happy shopping here, you're not happy shopping anywhere.

Normally these can be found for around $40 pretty much anywhere, but in this shop there are all $20 and under! You can tell I am seriously impressed by this. The rest of the shop had all the standard $2 shop type objects. There were fake flowers, bracelets and necklaces for only $4 as well as a large variety of home objects such as tupperware containers and sponges. The store is quite large and is completely packed full of objects at really low prices. There were a few tacky objects but in this kind of shop its expected. The staff were hard at work when I went in but the lady at the counter was quite helpful and friendly.

Giftique has a little bit of everything and rates pretty high on my list of variety shops…read more The stock is clean, the store is laid out well and there is no awful smell. I have said it before and I will say it again - while these are basic they are seriously important. As well as covering the basics, the store also has a lot of good quality items. I found some groovy garden ornaments that were priced well at around $8. There was also an awesome money box pig with a funny facial expression. There were items including: - stationery - vases - jewellery - costumes - tupperware - boxes and wrapping paper - and much more. The lady behind the counter greeted us on the way in and didn't say much else. I don't expect much more than that in a variety shop so that was good. I definitely recommend this place for some good quality stuff.

The clothes and assorted items on sale are all priced to sell, and every time I've stopped in I've picked up a bargain. Due to the size of the store, the range isn't as big as the large Salvo's stores, however without any middlemen, you know your money is going straight to those who need it when you shop here.
