Sunshine special.

Phew. Sometimes you get more than you bargained for. On the way to check out Sunshine Plaza the other day, I found this semi-derelict joint around the corner:

"City West Plaza"? What? Which city? It sounds like something from Batman.
It was all a bit tired, and the locals seemed a bit put out I was taking photos. Why?

Oooh, probably because some of them had ducked into the Sexy Land on a Saturday afternoon. OK.
ANYWAY, like the fucking Lord of The Rings or something, to get to Sunshine Plaza you first have to meet and defeat Sunshine Marketplace:

Which is absolutely enormous. Like, huge. I think it has one of every chain store in Australia tucked into its sprawling billowing folds. But then again, I didn't actually see a CopperArt in there, so maybe not. But, fear not, across Harvester Road is our destination:

There is indeed a plaza here, quite a large one, too, with an ALDI and a bulk-billing medical centre, and some other pokey little stores which I couldn't quite understand what they sold. The amenity/ambience is pretty dicey, though:

The smell of urine here, at one the main pedestrian entries, was palpable. If you wanted to palp it. Which I wouldn't recommend.
