    Housed in an old Theatre, this is a Blue Mountains landmark. At the front of the shop is a rather fine cafe, with a 'library' of old books and magazines like the ubiquitous mountain of National Geographic back issues. This area allows entry to the main part of the building through a set of concertinaing steel trestle barriers of the kind you would see in old lifts... Inside is a veritable cornucopia of antiques and collectibles housed in a vast open space on two levels, with the second level being a wide balcony encircling the whole of the main room. The collection within is divided into several dozen individual stalls with an eclectic range from the antique to some modern items such as DVD's that seemed a bit incongruous in their surroundings. The Antique Centre boasts the greatest variety in the Mountains as it is the largest Antique Centre West of Sydney and it's dealers from all over the area, so prices are very competitive.

    The emphasis here is on household contents from the turn of the 19th & 20th centuries as far as I can tell, with a lot of later artefacts from the Art Deco era that are of a technological nature such as typewriters, telephones and lights. The are also collections of medals and clothing here. As there are so many stalls, there are a great range of items and tastes on offer.

    Australian antiques are without except much cheaper than those of comparable markets in the UK or the US.

    There are a few little and quiet towns in Blue mountain area, and each town has a few souvernir shops.

    Mr Pickwick's Fine Old Books: 3 Floors of Antique Books
    This place is the best if you like books. It's got tens of thousands. There are three floors of second hand books of every description. They are all categorised and if you need a particular book they will be able to point out where it is. I found a book there the other day that I'd been looking for for years. If you have a book you're not sure of the value of, they can help you to find out how much it's worth if you bring it in. It's also got art, furniture and various other bric a brac, collectables and antiques. Open seven days a week 9am to 6 pm, with late night trading on Friday and Saturday nights until 9 pm.

    Buy that book you couldn't find...

    For second hand books they are a little pricey (as opposed to an Op Shop) but if you're looking for a particular book or author, it's a great place to start. Generally the books are all affordable though. The only ones I can't afford are the really old ones (and I'm a poor student)!

    Visitors Center: Hiking Guides
    Located at Echo Point, the visitors center has a lot of information for the hikers. Since they do not charge for entry costs, the park recovers some money by selling booklets about each hike. It includes history, animals, flora and hiking paths information. They are really cheap (like $3 AUD per booklet) so buy one and: 1) Dont get lost 2) Support the Park 3) Have a lot of handy information!

    $3 AUD
