Located smack bang in the middle of Burwood One, this is Australia's first ever Kmart…read more This giant superstore is open 24hours a day, everyday. It is the perfect destination to cure late night boredom. I have often found myself strolling down the aisles at 3am because the sandman wasn't calling but my wallet was. They have a good selection of things here, I can always find whatever it is I'm looking for. I think they offer a good range of home ware items here, such as plates, cooking utensils, and general household items. I also always come to this Kmart for their electronic games section, I find they tend to be cheaper than other stores. I bought a PlayStation 3 here for $100less than the rrp and always see other consoles and games on sale. This kmart also has quite a large garden area where a range of good quality plants and flowers can be purchased. They also have ceramic pots, dirt and other gardening equipment for sale too. I really like this Kmart-probably because its 24hours, it's extremely convenient to get to and there is plenty of parking out the front.

OMG! The only thing…read morebetter than Kmart is a 24 hr one! One thing I cannot get over is how busy this store gets even at 4am. Kmart has everything. It's a great place to buy a small gift when you don't know what you want. You can buy clothes, DVDs, books, make-up, underwear, get photos developed. Whatever you are after! Considering the staff are working nigh tshift, I think they are pretty good. The only thing is they really push their self service lanes these days.

After shocking experiences at My Chemist & Chemist Discount Warehouse ( please check out my other reviews) it was such a relive to go to Pharmore & get good, patient advice from well trained staff.

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.

This place really hasn't changed too much over the years. I went when it first opened, then didn't…read morego back for about twenty years, and over the last few years I've used it a fair bit for shopping on my way home from work or for family barbecues and that sort of thing. Most of everything you could ever reasonably need can be found here. It's pretty good in that regard. There's plenty of parking, you don't have to walk an awfully long way from the car to the shops and back, and it's usually not stupidly busy like some other shopping centres. Really, it's just a good sized suburban shopping centre. Don't expect Chadstone, but something much smaller and in many ways much better.

Waverley Gardens is the local small shopping center for the suburb of Mulgrave, they offer a few essential stores but lack popular fashion brands. Waverley Gardens is really just a place you would go to get groceries, visit the bank and maybe pick up a few household items. If I were looking for an outfit, I would definitely not be thinking of this place. Being a small center, this place does offer quite a lot. There is a Coles, Woolworth, Aldi, Target and Big W. There is also quite a good fruit and veg market here located just next to the Coles. Overall I think Waverley Gardens is a good shopping center for what it is- a small suburban center to pick up household essentials. I have no problems with coming here when I'm in the area.

Gisborne has no shortage of chemists, but this one is located near the medical centre I attend, so…read morewhen you're sick and wanting to get your meds quick this is my 'hit them up' joint. It's also where I come for makeup supplies for my girls. Staff are helpful, although I'm a little dubious of the makeup expert they have, as I can see clearly her unblended contour lines and I'm no expert. It's a priceline pharmacy, you know what you're in for.

Not really going to miss the old Chaps when I move away from here in the not too distant future…read more Used to be a lot more exciting years ago but is now a bit drab. Lots of vacant shops, places to get a decent coffee or fancy cocktails in this SY strip of Chapel St are few and far between. Lots of shops to buy polyester clothing if you're into that. Most exciting thing to happen this year on this strip was the fire above cafe Sienna. And that's saying something. Not going to miss the parking officers, the attention-seekers on their over-powered bikes and in their yellow and red Lamborghini's (parked in all of the no standing zones of course)... Nor will I miss the puke on the streets on my early Sunday morning walk or the hotels dumping glass bottles into their bins at two AM. Saying that, I will actually miss B'Stilla, G-Star & Market Lane plus my walks to the lovely Fawkner park... But I shall come to visit you guys so don't worry. I think I've overstayed my welcome. See ya Chapel St. x

If you do not have much money to spend and/or you are not in the mood to go shopping; well then forget about it. Save your visit to Chapel Street for another time. This experience is not to be rushed either; it is meant to be enjoyed and appreciated at a slowish pace; so make a day out of this experience on your day off. I am not joking about the money part. You need to also be in the mood to reward yourself for all your hard work; otherwise the experience will be made redundant. The vibe is like a visa platinum credit card with a credit limit of anywhere from $20,000 upwards. South Yarra is a great, trendy area (kind of like Newtown in Sydney) yet it is expensive. You could even live in the city on less rent than what your might have to pay to live in this area. I love Chapel Street, and it is usually always on the agenda of visitors to Melbourne in particular: not many people visit Melbourne without having to visit Chapel Street; and it is also a common theme among the locals who are in the mood for a great day out.

The thing that's really great about Dounias is the staff. Everyone who works in here are so nice and friendly and chatty, all in a very lovely way, not pushy or intrusive.

With tables, side tables and huge mirrors on display, the furniture is great, however quite expensive. There's always a large amount of people eyeing off the pieces inside, and although some of the smaller items can be picked up for a decent price, the bigger items have you quickly turning the price tag back over and backing away slowly. Love the furniture, not so much the price.
