Shopping

Whether you want distinctive fashions not found in metro stores or simply a few supplies for the cabin, Australia’s Blue Mountains has it covered. Excellence is the benchmark in antiques, giftware, souvenirs and collectables. There’s a market open somewhere pretty well every weekend (check what’s on & markets features in feature archive, podcast archive). Blue Mountains art has developed a notable international collectors’ market and major galleries will ship and insure. You’ll enjoy exploring the many speciality shops offering French, kitchen and art-deco themes. And, of course, all major supermarket chains and pharmacies (aka drug stores) are represented, with user-friendly opening hours.
