I saw this shop and just had to take a photo of it.
It was just the nicest shop front.
This shop is across the road from the Mercure Hotel.
This shop is usually open - I snapped this photo on Geelong Cup Day and most shops were closed for the day.

 Sanity by Marpessa
There are often many great sales (like 2 CDs for $44 or 3 DVDs for $50). They have excellent customer service and the staff are always friendly and helpful.
Sanity also has a free magazine out every 3 months. It has all the latest on the CDs and DVDs coming out.
Sanity also has a digital kiosk. It's where you can create and compile your own CD from over 500,000 songs - it is also legal downloading (so the artists still get paid, and the quality is the same as on a normal CD - the only thing is that you don't get the cover art).
Please remember if you are from overseas, a lot of DVDs will only work for a certain 'region' of the world. Australia is Region 4, and unless it says on the DVD that it is '0' (All regions) or you have an 'all regions' DVD player, then the DVD will only work in Region 4 (which includes: Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, South America, Central America, Pacific Island and the Caribbean).
While Sanity's competitor JB Hi-Fi may have cheaper prices sometimes (although, unlike their slogan - they are *not* always cheaper), they have a huge lack in their customer service skills. If you want help while shopping and people who will give you an honest opinion, go to Sanity.
Hmmm...
Try some Australian artists:
'Wolfmother' - Wolfmother
'Young Modern' - Silverchair
'Standing On The Outside' - Songs Of Cold Chisel (various artists covering their songs)
'Black Fingernails, Red Wine'- Eskimo Joe
'The Hard Road' - Hilltop Hoods
'Here Come The Drums' - Rogue Traders
(Or see my homepage for some of my favourites!)
On average:
$6 for a CD single
$25 for an album
$30 for a DVD
Although, like I said, they usually have a sale going and can have some great bargains. Leave a Comment Theme: MusicAddress: Shop 1, Yarra Plaza (inside Market Square)Directions: Located inside Market Square in a new area that opened July, 2006.Website: www.sanity.com.au

Pottage is a good place to get souvenirs from. They have your usual plush koalas/kangaroos/wombats, aboriginal painted crafts. But they also have an extensive range of handmade jewelry, like chokers, necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings.
Anything made locally!!
Depends on what you buy. Leave a Comment Theme: JewelryAddress: Market Square Shopping CentreDirections: Next to Australia Post (inside)

 Camera House by Marpessa
They print photos from film, memory cards, CDs - anything you have a photo on. Depending on the amount of photos you want printed you can sometimes get them printed in an hour (slightly higher charge).
You can now also send your photos into be printed on-line (you just need an internet connection and to download the 'print@camerahouse' software onto your computer). You pay for them on-line, and can then pick them up at the store or get them sent to your nominated address (See the website for full details).
Their prices are very competitive and usually have great deals. (they are on the cheaper side) Leave a Comment
