Not surprisingly, given its name, The Athlete's Foot, keeps nothing but shoes. Shoes for walking; shoes for running; shoes for every sport imaginable; adult shoes and children shoes. Selecting the right shoe for the job it needs to do makes all the difference to comfort and injury prevention, and the friendly staff here are trained in physiology and anatomy to give expert advice. In addition, brochures are available on the selection of shoes for various sports.
Crammed to the ceiling with secondhand books, this little shop is tucked into a corner of the Salamanca Arts Centre. Tables tumble out into the covered alley and passersby will find it impossible to resist rifling through the boxes. After all, there is always a title that you just cannot live without if you are an avid book lover. The stock at Deja Vu Books is a good general range rather than specialist. Service is friendly and knowledgeable, if you cannot find what you want, asking just may unearth that elusive title.
Chief cheese maker Ashley McCoy, who spent time in the UK, France and Italy to perfect his skills, produces wonderful award winning cheese. Of course the quality of the milk is essential. Sourced from the pristine Richmond Valley, where the land is not polluted by industry, the milk is free of hormones and additives. The result is some of the finest cheese Tasmania has to offer. Here you may sample triple cream brie, cheddar, camembert, chilli cheddar, whiskey cheddar, smoked cheddar, and chilli camembert. -Janice Barton
