If you
follow Clyde Road away from the freeway you’re going to at least pass by
Berwick Main Street, or High Street, or The Village, or whatever else the crazy
kids are calling it these days. If you grew up here like me you probably spent
a lot of time there, and for a good reason.
It may not have the shops and size of
Fountain Gate but it’s got a nice mixture of restaurants, milk bars, and small
business for it to be worth the trip. Not to mention it’s got the Berwick Inn,
the local pub, which holds different events throughout the week. Wednesday’s
Trivia, which me and my friends do every week. On Friday it becomes “Bezza” a
night club, which is, well, it’s alright, I guess.
As for restaurants it’s got Shanika’s
for Italian, Maine for a basic “nice restaurant” Eighty-One as a wine place,
and heaps more. It’s also just opened its own Coles, which is naturally on the
other side of its rival Woolworths, which had had a bit of a head start.
Also in
the center section, along with several rather impressive trees, are some
statues. Edwin Flack, as Australia’s first Olympian and their first Gold
Medallist, grew up in Berwick, so you might hear his name a lot, or see his
statue. There is also the ANZAC… shrine? I’m unsure what the proper term is.
In any
case if you’re curious about what’
s down the road I hope I
both sated and piqued your curiosity.
