A bit more up-market than the average suburban shopping centre, but given the area, that is not…read moresurprising. The major tenants are Woolworths and the recently opened David Jones, with lots of smaller specialty shops such as: Bakers Delight, Bed Bath & Table, kikki.k, Terry White Chemists, Feathers, The Athletes Foot, OPSM, to name a few. Plenty of underground car parking, though it can be tough to get a park at peak times. There is a hand car wash service if your car needs a shine while you shop. Lots of wide aisles and escalators make this a favorite for parents with pushers. There is free WiFi in the food court on the top level so you can add your Yelp reviews while having a coffee. And if the centre does not have what you want, the Glenferrie Road shopping strip is right outside.

Malvern Central is like a training course for prams and strollers…read more Usually filled with mummies and babies, it has a ton of parking and so I suppose it's a pretty easy option for most new parents to duck into the supermarket. The big anchor stores here are Woolworths and Target, with a few bedding, clothing and other fresh produce stores. They offer free wifi near the cafe areas, and there's a car wash service in the carpark.

I went there for a movie with my oldest friends and came out laughing with drinks in hand. Big shops and places you can make bookings are put in massively convenient places.

Just a heads up, everyone, there's an Ishka outlet store at the DFO in Cheltenham! Like any other…read moreIshka store, I always go in for the clothes and am surprised by how little of the store is given over to selling them. This is because it's actually a homewares, gift, and "look at my pretty things" store. I forget that. Lots of pretty things, lovely staff, and a huge selection of incense and scented oils. Probably better than in some city stores. The clothes selection is small, but unlike city stores it seems to be mostly dresses and tops made in different styles from the same fabric. Strange. For those of you who skip to the bottom of the review, I repeat: There is an Ishka Outlet Store! In Cheltenham!

Paid a visit to my old stomping ground today. I like the Well, its in a great location and I do…read morelike having a few shops centralised within the building. I used to do all my grocery shopping and this place has everything I needed with Coles, the butcher and fruit shop all on the same level. Upstairs has a few shops but I'd much rather be on Burke road, parricularly if I'm looking for a gift or knick knacks for the house. Parking is a bit of a pain (and the pain increases on weekends), however given the location you can always find a different area to park and just walk.

The Well is a shopping centre tucked behind the Camberwell Shopping Precinct on Burke Road. It is a…read moremultilevel complex filled with a range of banks, chain stores and other outlets, 33 stores in all. It lacks personality and appears at odds with the surrounding shops. It is not large enough to be a really draw card in a suburb nestled between both Chadstone and Doncaster. I imagine many locals would find it a useful place to do all the shopping in one hit, especially if it's raining and they don't want to wander up and down Burke Street. The ground level is home to a fresh food a large Coles, butchers, bakeries, greengrocer, deli, liquor store and juice and sushi points. The first level houses a cafe, Dymocks and a range of retailers and services. The top level is home to Geneses Fitness and JB Hifi. I drop by The Well if I'n in the area and need a particular store, however I would much rather browse the Burke Road shops with friends before a movie. I find the parking garage poky and really it's just another local shopping centre suffering from a bit of an identity crisis.

No different to Pitt Street Mall in the city, the Bourke Street Mall is Melbourne's equivalent, and…read morewith its own unique Zara outlet as well. So often the tram tracks are crossed to get to the other side to the point where waiting to cross the road at the lights to enjoy some more high quality shopping is a chore within itself. The iconic public purse at the tram station outside Melbourne GPO is a hit within itself (no pun intended) as musicians come to entertain us with their musical equipment stacked along this magnetic piece of art. Don't cross the tram tracks just yet as you have Melbourne GPO to explore. A word of warning: just ensure that you have gone to the toilet beforehand as something so simple as going to the loo turns out to be an obstacle here. Great cafes await you as well as quality boutiques to browse through. I love Georg Jensen here; in fact all the jewellers here provide great customer service. Keep walking and you will find Myers and DJ's in tandem with more street performers, and not to mention activists wanting support to help free the refugees or to take a stand of capitalism etc. Something would be so wrong with you if you are bored here. Cross the tram tracks (safer to actually cross the road) and you will find the food halls and more treats. Sadly that bistro on the Elizabeth Street side is now closed. And you might be lucky to spot one more street performer before moving on.
