Although Bligh's Meadow isn't very big , I like the vibe around there . Pretty relaxed with hardly any anti social behaviour that I have seen . Some niche shops and coffee bars . Generally polite service in all the shops . With the Christmas lights up - it's beginning to seem a lot like Christmas .Really pretty lights - will be sad to see them come down

Parking phenomenally expensive. Not many shops in Blighs Meadow itself. Seems to be completely overrun with cafes. Any decent shops there have closed down.

Shops were good. GAILS Bakery / DELI was just amazing. The whole experience was slightly less relaxed by the parking. Not flexible.
