Shopping
There’s a Woolworths supermarket in Mt Hawthorn, which is up the other end of Oxford St, away from the city, and left on Scarborough Beach Rd. It’s in excellent The Mezz village, where there are other shops, a restaurant, fish and chips, chemist, bakery, butcher, free wifi, etc. It’s cheaper and is open til 9pm on weeknights, then til 6pm Saturdays and Sundays. The Mezz can be hard to see from the road, so look out for the Dome café on the corner at the traffic lights and head in via the stairs/lift or drive behind the Dome to the car park.
