A little bit of everything

This is not really a tourist trap but useful to know. Pelgrim's Rest is very expensive. You can buy many of the articles that you find in the shops from the stalls at the waterfalls, Bourke's Luck potholes etc. They are normally half the price that you will pay at Pelgrim's Rest.
