North and West Melbourne are little gems, and what makes them even more special is our block between Howard and Errol St.
Why? You ask?
Well, the businesses are predominantly owned by women and I’m proud to one of them.
So to embrace the beautiful hardworking women around me I dedicate this blog to them and will give a little insight into their businesses.
Shop local! Help local small businesses being successful and keeping their doors open!
