Various: Shopping in Mt Buller

by TheBlueSpeck

You don't go to Mt Buller to shop, that's for sure!There is a supermarket in the village square, where you can buy essentials at hyper-inflated prices. If you have room in your suitcase, bring items with you rather than planning to buy them here - the range is not good, and did I mention expensive? There are various "mt buller sports" franchises around the village selling ski wear, and various other small souveneirs, but nothing too inspiring. Our best souveneir was the "Jerome the Gnome" purchased for $20 from the Mercure Grand Chalet. For a unique present, check out Jerome the Gnome from the Mercure Grand Chalet. $20.

Queen Victoria Market: Victoria's Premier Spot to Shop

by ATXtraveler

This may be considered a shopper's delight....Some people would call this a swap meet, but the Queen Victoria Market is more than that. In one stall, you may find some items directly off the boat from China, and in the very next shop you will find some great art from a local craftsman!We have found everything from stuffed animal wallabies, to leather coats, to aboriginal art.Definitely go check it out! Negotiate Negotiate Negotiate!

Queen Victoria Market

by keeweechic

Queen Victoria Market (Vic Markets) is a great outdoor (but partially covered) market. During the week mainly fresh produce is sold but on the weekends the goods extend to clothing, leather, souvenir goods amongst other things, all at very good prices. You can also buy fresh flowers and indoor plants, fashion jewellery, compact disks, handicrafts, authentic Australian artefacts. There are also small shops inside as well. Don't forget to try the donuts. Sundays are really busy days..
