Just for info about the shops etc. Someone mentioned Chadstone ("Chaddie" just to get you used to the lingo!)
is huge, lovely shops and just about anything you could want.
Also, there are two other shops I would mention which are not in the large shopping complexes (such as Chaddie or Doncaster Shoppingtown). One is a British butcher in Dandenong, and another is a shop called Treats from Home which I think is in Collins Street in the city. One other thing, perhaps if anyone is looking for new goods which are 'seconds' so to speak, you can always get onto graysonline.com.au which are auctioneers, and you can get some great stuff on there (things such as fridges which have dints in them, or marked/scratched items). Considerably cheaper. They also do all sorts of furniture, carpet, whitegoods etc. There are so many bargains at the moment around, especially cars I am told as on TV the other night they were saying all the dealers will be trying to get rid of unsold stock before xmas (Toyota, Ford etc) Lots of bargains at the moment in the house and land package estates, especially those eligible for the first home buyer's grant which has been doubled by the government.
