Our westside neighbourhoods, Wyndham and beyond, are full of vibrant businesses, cafes, restaurants and venues. Many of our favourite haunts are still open for business, after having adapted creatively to the current circumstances.
The team at Western Melbourne Tourism knows that in times like this it’s important that we all support local, preserve our self-care, check in on our neighbours and keep our unique “westie” community spirit alive. They have put together a list of great ways to keep the spirit alive, without leaving home.
