Café Taratso.
We went to Café Taratso and asked Emma some questions about her restaurant.

The uniform is black and white. It is a fun place to work. Emma was very nice to us. She makes fantastic food. Michael found a delicious-looking chocolate mousse. Myka found a strawberry-chocolate swirl cake and Camilla did too, and there was lots of them. Melissa found a yummy-looking chocolate biscuit. All the food is home-made. When we went there she was baking focaccio.
The Chemist.
Chris and Alex own the Chemist. They wear a white shirt and tie with a black pants. We spoke to Chris. He was a nice man. It was fun at the chemist. There was lipstick, toys, and lots of medicine. It was interesting. There were furry bags, diaries and head lice treatment. They sell bath bombs as well. They have a security system to stop people shoplifting.
The Weecycle

Warehouse
There were heaps of baby toys and clothes in the shop. Other people bring their baby goods to the shop to sell. The shop takes part of the money and the rest goes back to the person who brought them in. When we were in the kitchen, out the back of the shop, there was cordial, water, sandwiches, chips, yummy biscuits and noodles. We asked questions to Pam in the shop. Trent and Jamie gave us chocolate crackles. There were prams outside the front of the shop with lots of children’s toys.
The Butcher.
Bill, the owner, was up in Queensland. His assistant Mark, was there. Mark is 34 years old. Mark is a very nice person. The butcher showed us his freezer and it smelled strange.In the freezer there is lots of meat. There are four types of meat. He only had three types of sausages. The famous meat is the pies. We had a lolly each.
The Chaff Shed
We went to the ‘Chaff Shed’ in Warrandyte. The owner’s name is Cecelia. We knew one person there, that was Kelly, but she wasn’t there. Sometimes two men work there as well. Did you know that they sell horse food and chocolate dog bones? They sell dog cereals, and horse tubs as well as animal food, cleaning goods, medicine, toys, beds, collars, leashes, dog blankets and more. It has been open for three years.
Warrandyte Hardware
We went to the Warrandyte hardware. We told him our questions and he answered them back to us. He was a nice man.

He gave us some cacti for free. He had 3 wheelbarrows and 13 hoses. He had 2 lawn mowers and 8 brooms. He has over 5,000 things in his store and 6 pairs of gumboots.
