This market has two locations with over 1000 stalls. Most of the stalls sells souvenirs , you do get people selling face products, clothes, electrical appliences, toys etc. you come in empty handed and you will surely come out with something : ).
It all depnds on how shopaholic you are. me not being one spent around 50aud. Theme: GiftsDirections: you can take the monrail, it will stop directly infront of the market. or if you get lost, once again, you can ask the information people. they will kindly help you.

This was an answer to someone asking about bringing tinned food into Australia (in particular to Melbourne)
I am not sure where you are travelling from (you don't have this info on your homepage) but in general in Australia most supermarkets (Woolworths, Coles, IGA, etc etc) sell relatively cheap food. Every suburb in Melbourne probably has all of the above supermarkets plus lots more. Lots of tinned variety and fresh. I definitely would not even try to bring any food through our customs. Just buy it here.
To expand on this I would say nearly all towns of any size (my town has 10 000 people) has at least one major shopping centre (Stanthorpe has 2 - IGA and Woolworths) so you can find relatively cheap food of all varieties very easily. Opening hours are generally 9am to 7pm or even 9pm for grocery shops Mon to Fri and day time on the weekends. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

Valparks is the store that sells business clothing (for men and women). When I was in Australia, my friend took me there and bought me a nice shirt as a gift (I was lucky to find how Australians are generous by myself :-). What I like the most about this store is that they use Egyptian Cotton. I simply fell in love with that material when I was in States. I don't regretting paying few extra bucks for a shirt made out of that material.
If I knew that they have a web site, I'd spare an hour or two to look what to buy :-)
In my case it was a business shirt.
The shirt I was gifted was $89.99.I don't regret paying that money (especially if it is not me who's paying. Leave a Comment

We have worked out that the duty free shops at major Australian airports have pretty competitive prices compared to most places o/s. OK - you are going to find some marginally cheaper items in lots of places but the convenience of not having to carry stuff into the country outweighs any small savings.
The current regulations on the carriage of liquids in carry-on luggage has added another reason to buy alcohol and cosmetics after arriving in Australia.
More often than not these stores also have "specials". Typically if you spend a certain amount in the store items such as rum/whiskey etc are available at half price.
Buying gifts or requested items for Australian Residents
Ladies cosmetics for friends and family at duty free price. To save the hassle of shopping for someone else get them to do the ordering and buying by dealing directly with the duty free store by phone, paying by credit card. Provide friends/family with your flight details. When you arrive, pick up the items as you pass through the inbound shop. Everyone is happy. They get the item(s) they want at a discount. You have no outgoing cost and no worries about getting the correct stuff. You only have to carry the item(s) a few hundred meters.
Greater Range of Products at Outbound Duty Free.
For Australians going on holidays: If you know exactly what you want or if you don't know and have to look at a range of cosmetics, for example, shop on the way out of Australia. The OUTBOUND duty free shops have a bigger range than the inbound. Pay for them outbound & arrange to pick up inbound. Theme: Discount Store
