Shopping in Australia

In Melbourne the Queen Victoria Market is the place to go for funky items you won’t find in department stores. In Brisbane you’ll definitely want to purchase gifts like aboriginal items specific to the Australian outback. Nowhere else can you find such beautiful and unique Australian Aboriginal arts and crafts. In Brisbane you’ll also find many retro markets and local boutiques with fun, different items. A traditional Australian outback cowboy hat is always in style. Australia may not be in the same category as Paris, Milan, and London when it comes to high fashion. But in the past few years Sydney in particular has become a centerpiece for fashion and commerce. The store DFO, near Olympic Park, has all the top name brands in Sydney. Birkhenhead Point is a great outlet area: This multi-story building is perfect for grabbing an inexpensive outfit.
