If you have a passion for shopping there will be much to tempt you in
Australia. There is a wide selection of international goods, such as
the latest phones and cameras, along with uniquely Australian items
such as Aboriginal art and Australian souvenirs. If you are a keen fashion shopper you will find much to tempt you. Fashion from around the world is on offer along with designs from Australian designers. Australia has already proved the quality of its clothes design ranges, with Australian designers such as Alannah Hill and Collette Dinnigan making their mark in the international fashion industry.
Cities and many regional areas also have markets, where you can buy a range of goods from fresh fruit and vegetables to clothes and handcrafts. Always fascinating to browse around, markets offer an entertaining way of looking for goods.
For more day-to-day items there are shops for all your needs, such as pharmacies, supermarkets, liquor stores (known as bottle shops in Australia), specialty food shops and newsagents. It will not be hard for you to find the items you need for day to day life. The international office at your university will be able to help you find the closest shopping area and your university will have a selection of shops and stalls on campus.
