Brunswick

It may be an urban myth, but people like to say that Brunswick’s Sydney Rd is the most multicultural street in the southern hemisphere. That fact certainly seems to be true as you traipse along the ever bustling strip with its diverse collection of businesses. If you can’t find a shop that sells what you need along Sydney Rd, it probably doesn’t exist. Brunswick has a great vibe and has become a haven for all creative types. Chances are that behind any warehouse door, you’ll find a bunch of people doing something creative. The combination of industrial and residential zones in the one area has created a unique and productive hive of activity with many interesting spaces to explore. Travellers: go wander there.

This record store has been running since 1955 and it’s the best place in Brunswick to source hard-to-find records, as well as easy to find ones. Renae and her Partner Paul have a great collection of local and independent releases that will have you browsing up a storm. It’s pretty easy to lose an afternoon here. Record Paradise also has a policy of never wasting a record, resulting in an epic yearly garage sale of 12,000 $1 records. If you’re lucky enough to be in town for this, don’t be foolish enough to miss it. If you spend so long browsing that you need a haircut, then head around the corner to their sister store “Paradise Cutters” and Paul will clean you up.
