Hares & Hyenas, Melbourne’s queer bookshop, announces it will open at its new location at 63 Johnston Street, Fitzroy before the end of November 2006. Rowland Thomson, proprietor of Hares & Hyenas, said: “While we are sad to be leaving Commercial Road after 15 years of operating the shop, we are very excited to be relocating to such a vibrant area in Melbourne.”
