Shops & Shopping

Shops & Shopping

While Australia is home to many global High Street and luxury brands, discerning shoppers focus on its wealth of unique and independent makers, artisans and designers.

Markets like Tasmania’s Salamanca Market, Queensland’s Eumundi Markets and Victoria’s Rose Street Artists’ Market are great spots to bag one-of-a-kind items, from jewellery and pottery to skincare and comestibles.

Seasonal, multi-city markets showcasing local design include The Big Design Market and The Finders Keepers. Haggling at markets is generally not acceptable.

Melbourne is widely considered Australia’s shopping capital, with an especially impressive cachet of cool, independent fashion boutiques and the largest shopping mall in the southern hemisphere, Chadstone. The country’s most beautiful shopping centre, however, is arguably Sydney’s 19th-century Queen Victoria Building.
