I had the hope that this would be the "Index" ALDI for Australia, when it showed up as a POI (Point of Interest) on my GPSr.
Like many ALDI stores in 'southern' Sydney, this has a very multicultural clientele, so it was no surprise that they had Kaftans on sale here.
Re Parking: This has an 'unusual' system of ticketed parking. There is no boom gate to stop at, and get a ticket from. But rather, you need to go to the entry of the store, get a ticket from a machine, and then display that on your car. I only saw a 'small' car park in person, but on checking the aerial view I can see that it actually extends around the back of the store, so that there is quite a few more car parks.
Parking Rates:
0 - 1 Hour FREE
1 - 2 Hours $4
2 - 3 Hours $6
3 - 4 Hours $8
4 - 5 Hours $10
5 - 6 Hours $12
6 - 7 Hours $14
7 - 8 Hours $16
8 - 24 Hours $75 **
Now, another 'story' of my experience there. While asking the 'packing staff' about the year that this store opened I happened to hear a sound like my car keys jingling, and thought "that's odd", checked my pockets, and noticed that my key WAS missing. Damn. While I do have a spare car key, it was in my back pack IN the car, along with my mobile phone. So I walked back to my car checking everywhere, and no key.
I went back to the first staff member that I spoke to (with a thick accent), and mentioned my car key, with its' unusual tag was missing - an "NZ MEGA AUCKLAND 2013" trackable tag, which is trackable at geocaching.com, AND it has my 'name' on it - Grahame Cookie (which is close enough to Grahame Cooke to make it identifiable as mine). "YES" it had been handed in, so a quick visit to the checkout, and I am 'on my way'. Phew! But with all of that, I didn't ask if they could get some plastic shopping baskets. With what I saw of the other shopping trolleys tho, not many were buying just a few items like myself.
