Shopping

Hi all
Went shopping in the uk over the weekend and now its made me think about shopping in Melbourne.I know melbourne is the best for shopping in oz. But wanted to know how as a pom do u rate the shopping.
I like shopping in places like River island, Bay and h & M.
But i also love PRIMARK! fashion but cheap as chips.
Is there shops like that in Melbourne ????????????

Hi Becky,

Well I certainly miss TK MAXX. The nearest you can get in Melbourne is the Outlet shopping mall close to Morrabin Airport. There is certainly no PRIMARK. Most popular store is TARGET for cheap and good quality clothes. RIVERS is probably the equivalent to River Island. You have TWO big shopping malls one called SOUTHLAND and the other more up market one is CHADSTONE.

I personally prefer the small boutiques. That is what is wonderful about shopping in the local high streets - no repetition of the chain stores like in England. You have so much variety of little clothing shops at very reasonable prices (comparing Sterling to the Dollar).


Hope that helps.

Cant help with what Melbourne shopping is like but when we were out there earlier in year l tried to take notice of shops for my shopaholic daughter (although biggest bonus for her wallet and thus mine too would have been if they had NONE! ). She's Primark mad too so figured Target was ok for her along with lots of individual shops as opposed to loads of same, fashion seemed pretty well up with ours too - lots of leggings and those smock tops that look gorgeous on the young fit things but on me just made me look pregnant! Not a good look at 48 l can assure you .
For me l wish they had an equivalent of Argos but at least they've got Ikea
