What travellers are saying
- D CMelbourne, Australia13 contributionsAmongst the plethora of markets in Melbourne, this informal street market stands out as a very enjoyable and dollar-stretching experience. If you come late you might find some true bargains here as the greenvrocers unload their fare.
After the ridiculous prices of Prahran Market and the declining quality of food generally, avisit here was indeed a pleasant and unexpected surprise for a very jaded shopper.Written 24 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,838 contributionsJack Dyer (1913-2003) was one of the greatest footballers of all time. He led Richmond to premierships in 1934 and 1943. His playing career (1931-1949) has been matched by few others. Jack Dyer was inducted as an Australian Rules Legend. He grew up in Yarra Junction, where he showed early aptitude as a sportsman. Jack Dyer's bone-crunching style of play earned him respect and fear. After retirement, he had a long career in the media, where he was known as "Captain Blood."Written 30 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,838 contributionsThe wife of my best friend is Vietnamese. We would often go to Victoria Street for lunch. As for for lunch in Victoria St, his only complaint was that parking is tight. Victoria St has the best pho in Melbourne. These low-budget restaurants are often packed. By the way, if you are harassed by low-lifes, ignore them, and never, ever give them money, it only encourages them.Written 25 February 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,838 contributionsBarkly Gardens iis a large park, dating from 1867. Barkly Gardens are the only residential garden square in Richmond dating from the 19th century. The Gardens host a large range of activities, from cricket and soccer to BBQs. There is also a pavilion, and shelters. For families, Barkly Gardens has playgrounds and water fountains, with tables and benches. The Gardens also host an ANZAC Memorial. By the way, if you want to hold a large function you must apply to the City of Yarra.Written 23 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PalmviewFort Myers Beach, FL334 contributionsVictoria Gardens is a nice shopping center for the area. It contains a Coles food store, butcher shop, Hoyt theater, K-mart, hair dresser, nail salons, clothing stores, home goods and shoe stores as well as a variety of other shops. I has a lovely food court with an array of Asian food as well as Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonalds. As a visitor here for a 3 month stay, I have found this center to be more than adequate for my daily needs. I even found several Christmas presents here.Written 29 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,838 contributionsBryant and May was a match factory. It has now been repurposed for showrooms and offices. Redheads, produced here until the early 1980s, remain Australia's most popular matches, although they are now made in Sweden. The Bryant and May factory was built in the Edwardian era, with Classical and Art Nouveau influences. The building is on the Victorian Heritage Register. The Bryant and May factory is an architectural landmark that has outlived its industrial function.Written 21 February 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- seagullrobScarborough, Australia6,032 contributionsWe had a nice time at this suburban Melbourne gin distillery, even with COVID restrictions.
Staff were exceedingly pleasant.
The menu of gins, mixers, mixtures and cocktails was quite mind boggling - who knew there could be such variety!?!?
We each had a gin and something and then a gin cocktail. The cocktails were particularly stunning.
Quite expensive but it is special.Written 6 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Punt Road is a notorious traffic bottle-neck, and the Tigers had to cede territory to widen this major road, resulting in the move to the MCG. The Richmond VFL and AFL Women's teams still play at Punt Road Oval. It's also the administrative headquarters and training ground for the Tigers.Written 2 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,838 contributionsSt Ignatius Church is an awe-inspiring building, one of the largest churches in Victoria outside of the Melbourne CBD. Due to Richmond's relative poverty in days gone by, it took many years to complete St Ignatius. The church is built in Gothic Revival style. The main building material is bluestone, the material favored by 19C institutional architects. St Ignatius is in Church St, Richmond's highest point. The stained glass is magnificent. The church is named for St Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, better known as the Jesuits. The Jesuits built their churches for the ages.Written 28 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
