Shopping in Perth

One thing you might find different and nice about Perth is the sales tax is already included in the price on items. So you don’t have to deal with it at the register. Everything is priced as is. Beyond this things are extremely cheap since the Australian dollar is weak compared to the US dollar. This makes shopping a lot of fun, just don’t get too carried away. Or do! Some of the best shops in town are around the center of the city. Just take note when buying your souvenirs that there is a Government mandated opening and closing time on all stores. So don’t expect anything to be open after 5 or 6, depending on the place. The only exception to the rule are a couple of 24-hour pharmacies.
