“Hipster”, “very Melbourne” – these are the phrases typically thrown at Braddon’s newest hot spot, Lonsdale Street Traders. Although a temporary space – it will eventually make way for a six-story development – the old tire warehouse-turned-independent retail space is described by owner Nick Bullum as a chance for local businesses and designers to establish themselves on the iconic street. After hours fossicking through the industrial space, framed by white walls and miss-matched lampshades hanging from red ceiling beams, one thing is clear – Lonsdale Street Traders is much more than its cliches. Eclectic, friendly and oozing with coolness, it’s a unique side to Canberra the locals love and the tourists can only hope they’ll stumble across.
