Armadale is one of Melbournes more upmarket suburbs on the outskirts of inner Melbourne and while it has an element of toffee-nosed about it... it is worth the short train ride from the CBD if a) you are in the market for a vintage poster, b) if you are planning a wedding or c) you would like a nice breakfast or lunch at the Coin Laundry cafe located immediately opposite the train station.
We first ventured to Armadale when we first moved to Melbourne and had this idea that we would try and explore one suburb per weekend. We actually came across this really cool vintage Air NZ poster but at $500, it didn't fit into the budget when we were busy setting up home in a new country.
So two years later, we thought we would head back and see, if by absolute miracle, we could find the said poster - because then that would be fate, meant to be and we would definitely make the purchase. Unfortunately in this instance, the shop was closed. Fate, door closed.
Not to worry, we did have a yummy lunch at Coin Laundry and enjoyed having a wander through the high street shops.
