- Descripción:
- The shop is on the main street in the original old part of Warrandyte, and is one of the oldest buildings still standing.
This used to be the baker's residence, built around the early 1860s from 2 old mine inspectors' huts which were brought together to make one house. They were apparently brought here from the Bendigo or Ballarat goldfields by bullock teams. The front section with the little windows seems to have been added at a later time, and this was the shop outlet for the Warrandyte Bakery from around 1929 to 1951, after which time the original baker, Jim Walsh, retired.
The bakehouse is still located next door, now with its own separate shop, and has been a thriving local business for the past 20 years. The bookshop was established in 1999. Steve and Jo Brazil took over the bookshop in mid-2009.
The Yarra River flows past the back of the shop which is located on Yarra Street (thus our name). Warrandyte is a very popular place for locals and tourists to visit all year round. It is one of the few remaining villages on the edge of Melbourne's huge urban sprawl. There is a large children's playground close by and there are numerous quality eateries and interesting retail outlets open every day. Weekends and holidays can be very busy. - Añadido Por
