Waverley Gardens, Police Rd. Mulgrave.

Out amongst the AV Jennings homes of Mulgrave, this has grown into a big bombastic and very popular place- with bike parking facilities:

It makes some pretty big promises on the way in...

...which, sadly, it does not quite live up to once you get inside- unless this really is what the Las Vegas strip looks like these days:


My favorite memory of Waverley Gardens is from the summer of 1980, when KISS played nearby VFL Park on their first Australian tour. Many fans started camping out in a queue a few days early, and had to use the toilets in the mall, as well as buy food and such. So there was a procession of people in KISS makeup, tracky daks and moccys traipsing in and out of the centre for a week or so.
