Fleeting visit to Bankstown





Next stop after Cabramatta was Bankstown given that mum could not remember if she had been there before. Bankstown is different to Cabramatta, it has a different feel, the area is not predominantly Asian but it also has some Lebanese shops scattered around. The town itself is also more built up than Cabramatta as it has its own Centro shopping mall which was quite busy yesterday. Hence the "Asian" part of the town is quite small.

There were still a few Asian grocery shops and fruit shops along the main shopping strip on one end with the restaurants located at the other side of the street. Not as much variety as Cabramatta and the cost of the produce is similar.

Again, one could see people congregating on the benches or groups having coffee together.

For me, after Cabramatta, Bankstown was like an Adagio.
