Many customers waited until after Christmas to take advantage of the mass-markdowns on offer. Crowds were as strong as the pre-Christmas sales. Some of the smaller stores had to resort to making customers queue up outside the shopfront to avoid overcrowding and the possibility of theft.

Over 50,000 shoppers flowed through the doors this morning according to Stephen deWaele, the Centre's Manager. At least 50,000 more are expected to visit the centre by close of business at Midnight.

Popular stores included the retail giants Myer and David Jones, whilst smaller clothing and boutique stores also proved to be winners as shoppers looked for heavily discounted sale goods.
