| Melbourne For Shop-a-holics Tip |
| There are few places in Australia that keep up with the trends as vigorously as Melbourne. You could almost say that Melbournites are so up to the minute in fashion that in many areas they not only surpass the rest of Australia, but actually pole-vault their way into the abyss of what might lie beyond the current fads. For this reason shopping in Melbourne is an experience of its own and something that people will travel from all over Australia to take part in. Names like Chapel Street, Bourke Street and Prahran have become quintessential icons of shopping in Australia and though there are plenty of other places to spend your dollars in old Melbourne Towne, they are definitely some of the most exciting. It’s all about stepping outside the square in Melbourne as far as fashion is concerned and to get a true taste of how alternative these southerner’s tastes can be, you really do have to visit the plethora of vintage/‘op’ shops that line streets like Chapel and Brunswick. While visiting the more alternative side to Melbourne’s shopping world might make you feel like you’re shopping for the exact clothes you managed to throw out over a decade ago, don’t worry, that old jumper and scuffed boots are now super cool. Chapel Street for example, boasts over 4 kilometres of shopping madness from Windsor down to South Yarra, with some of the most alternative clothing shops on the continent and along with them, some of the funkiest cafes, bars and restaurants to relax in after a heavy day’s big spending. |
