An arty inner suburb with a village feel, an art deco cinema (Sun Theatre) and plenty of good cafes.
Yarraville, Melbourne (inner west)
If Williamstown is the snob end of Melbourne’s inner west, Yarraville is the alternative community minded hip style-meister. And ya gotta love the gay boys. Had they not begun moving into Yarraville about 15 years ago and injecting life into the place, it would probably still be down and out. Now, Yarraville has a sausage king, a cinema, bars, cafes, restaurants, bakeries, organic food, and great yoga. (More info below and to your left <<<) > YARRAVILLE ON THE MELBOURNE WEST MAP

All of Yarraville's shops are set in just two, yes two, small, narrow streets. And when you are down here, it feels as though you are in a country town.
