So this is it. The final laundry mat review. Over the last five weeks we've covered the inner west, south, north and east. For the grand finale I wanted to head into the city centre and do something a bit special. The laundry mat review to end all laundry mat reviews. Something that would bring the country to its knees.
Unfortunately, that plan fell apart. As it turns out, there are no laundrettes in the city centre. None. So after several minutes on Google Maps I admitted defeat, said ‘fuck it', and went with the place just down the road; Yarraville Laundry. Anticlimax, I know.
As it turns out, the local laundrette is the smallest, shittiest, most miserable place in the whole world. About the same size as a large bedroom, it boasts five washing machines, a couple of dryers and some tables.
If you suffered from claustrophobia you'd have a nervous breakdown waiting for the spin cycle to finish. Or you just wouldn't bother. I went with the latter option. Walking home with the unwashed laundry, I decided it was time to bite the bullet and buy a washing machine.
