The City of Darebin is north-east of Melbourne's CBD. Bordered by the Darebin and Merri creeks to the east and west, this municipality is genuinely "the land between two creeks". As Darebin’s designated arts precinct, High St, Northcote is one of Melbourne’s most unique and creative locations. With a growing number of independent designer clothing and specialty stores for grownups and babies alike, cool retro furniture and clothing stores as well as a host of hair and beauty retreats, the eclectic mix of businesses is a reflection of a diverse and vibrant community.
As we have been having some very warm and mainly sunny autumnal weather lately, it has been perfect for walks, not only in the parks and gardens of the neighbourhood, but also the shopping streets! As you can see, lots of blue skies and sun...

and also part of the Mandarin Orange Monday meme,
Thanks for another little tour of this great place.
ReplyDeleteHi Nick,
ReplyDeleteOh, you have so many blues, but that sky . . . OH MY! It's so blue-tiful! Thanks for sharing.
Happy Blue Monday!
I didn't realize "Aldi" was so far reaching (in your 4th image). We have one here in our own little community. :D
ReplyDeleteVery creative, bright mural!

Picturesque older shops, I bet they are fun. The mural is decorative, with it's mystical beings.
ReplyDeleteYou found a blue filled day! The sky is gorgeous too. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the mural. Just a couple of days ago I attended an exhibition of Vancouver's street art. So much talent and I'm happy to see it exposed. As for those skies, no wonder Sally was smiling :)
ReplyDeletePretty amazing murals you have there! And I love the orange bike too - wish I could manage to ride one again :(
ReplyDeleteA great series, thanks for sharing on Mandarin Orange Monday Nick (and thanks for introducing me to Monday Murals... I came across a couple of interesting ones in the country last weekend...so I will link up there soon).
Northcote is not a part of Melbourne I normally drive through en route to somewhere else. But if High St Northcote is one of Melbourne’s most unique and creative locations, then I better make a special trip. Sunday brunch anyone?
