Eat

It is quite rare for us to visit this Westfield shopping centre as it is not located near our usual hangout places. Good easy to find parking despite busy crowds during weekend and lots of shopping variety to satisfy Christmas gift list. The mall management did well to curate the right mix of shops catering for all age and price range !

I love Southland. I have been coming here since the 1980's and have witnessed great change over that time. Some great (extending over Nepean Hwy) others not so great (removal of rooftop garden, Myer furniture room displays, newsagent), but I keep coming back as it has nearly everything you want under one roof, movies, lots of food options and a variety of shops. However there is a problem with the paid parking, $35 for 7 hours is ridiculous!! And yes if you go the movies, have something to eat and visit several shops you will be there for 7 hours (as my patient husband will attest!). Anyway everytime I visit a wave of nostalgia washes over me even if the place is so so different to when Allen's/Brashs, Eastcoast jeans (I think it was called that), Hilton's dresses (so glitzy!), Bass ticket outlet, the donut shop (Snowflake?, where they had an American style counter where you could sit and watch each donut being made), Darrell Lea and more were there. So yes visit for what you want to see, what you want to eat, and what you want to buy, meet your friends there and create your own memories of good times at Southland. 14.3 make sure you get the Westfield app and enter competition to win $10k.

Its got everything you need, heaps of free parking and is clean and less crowded than chadstone. Definitely prefer for my longer shops and Christmas shopping. Only thing is if you're coming specifically for a shop make sure you park on the correct side of Nepean highway or you're in for a long walk!
