PAGE 20 | LAKES COAST VISITOR GUIDE TOORA Toora is a quaint little country village in South Gippsland that is currently undergoing some big changes, as new cosmopolitan retailers, galleries, vintage stores, cafes, delis and eateries move into the main-street retail strip. One such new addition is The Panton Store, a beautifully curated shop stocking a range of stylish homewares and furniture.

"Toora is is undergoing an exciting evolution – much like a retail and food rennaissance – while retaining its country charm," Shelley said. "There are lots of wonderful new business here that have been warmly welcomed into this friendly community, and visitors to the town are enjoying the extra choice, and the fresh country air. "It really is magical here!" Shelley's store has a range of beautifully crafted homewares, pottery, books, kitchenware, accessories, wool wares and lots more, all thoughtfully displayed with the aplomb of a talented homemagazine stylist. The store also has an excellent website, displaying the wide range of items on offer, most of which are available for purchase in-store or online, via The Panton Store website. Complimentary gift wrapping is available for store and online purchases, and gift vouchers are available. The Panton Store is located at 31 Stanley Street, Toora.
