It’s winter on the Mornington Peninsula and there’s nothing better than finding a welcome escape from the wild weather. Step through the doors of Antipodes Bookshop & Gallery and feel the cosy calm wash over you.

A sanctuary for booklovers, Antipodes’ purpose is to find and champion stories – those that enrich our lives, those that surprise and those that delight. There are other treasures to discover, too: beautiful Australian art, craft and jewellery and carefully curated exhibitions. Just down the stairs, you’ll find our new space, Little Antipodes – dedicated to children’s books, there’s comfy spaces for children to lose themselves in the world of reading and discover new stories and possibilities. For the big kids, there’s the new Literary Lunch series, showcasing the best of Australian authors over a delicious local lunch.
