Westfield Shoppingtown Parramatta NSW 1985: It's late night shopping, let's all hang out at the shops and check out the action. Meet you at the escalators. Share your Thursday night shopping memories here. @oldshopsoz, the home of Aussie retro retail flashbacks.
It's late night shopping so come down tonight and check out the Step Fitness demonstrations at the @oldshopsoz Health & Fitness Expo happening all this week at Centre Stage. Step Fitness demonstration at Westfield West Lakes Adelaide mid-1990s. [pic: Westfield West Lakes FB]

Late night at Harry's Cafe de Wheels, Woolloomooloo Sydney. Don't let the Edward Hopper Nighthawks vibe seduce you. This place and its offerings aren't much chop nowadays. It doesn't even trade all night. Pic by @oldshopsoz November 2018
@maccas Hash browns should not be $3.55 each I will die on this hill
1979: No not Chiko Rolls, it's Chiko brand hamburger patties in your supermarket freezer now.
