Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the fairest of them all
For years I have driven past a nice
old building at 172 Hoddle Street (the extension of Punt Road) in
nearby Collingwood. There is always a large mirror or three or four
leaning on the building and tree trunk in the street to lure the passers by - 100,000++ cars pass by
each day along with another #30,000 bus travellers. It has pretty good exposure!

| Mirror heaven! |
I
had always promised myself that I would pop in one day but not needing a
mirror and with the
pressure of traffic bumper to bumper (particularly during the week) I never did! That is until recently! I had suggested to a friend that she pop in to see if there was a
mirror for her hallway.
 |
| Every size and shape - stacked to the rafters |
Was there a mirror! I've never seen so many
mirrors - ceiling mirrors (!) mirror balls, animal encrusted mirrors, furniture covered in mirrors - and just 'regular' mirrors. It was a strangely uplifting
experience.

This is the Aladdin's Cave of Mirrors and perfectly named
Mirror Mirror! It was magical mirror heaven. And to think it has been there for 14 years!
 |
| A 'sea' of Venetian mirrors |
 |
| And there's more! |
So don't be frightened to stop the car and pop in to have a look. There is car parking at the rear if you can't or don't feel you can stop in Hoddle Street - although I have found a park easily both times I have visited.
 |
| You'll be like a (mirrored) bull in a (china) shop!! |
I felt as though I was on hallowed ground! I didn't know where to look next! If ever there was a wow factor then this is it!
