Baker's Delight is one of my guilty pleasures in Australia. I have been to several of those around Sydney and also the one in Perth. And I almost always get the same Berry and White Chocolate Scone. Around Sydney they run about $1.90 and $2.10 in Perth but I could sit there and eat several per day if Liz would let me.
They also have a great selection of rolls, breads and danish style treats. Liz always goes for one of the Lattice treats. They run about $3.40 each.
Combined, what a great way to start the day or as a midday treat. We happened upon the Perth location after doing some shopping and boy did that Blueberry White Chocolate scone hit the spot just right.
What to buy: The Blueberry White Chocolate Scone....so good!
What to pay: $2.10 for a scone

Myer is a favorite store for my wife when we are in Australia. Meyer is a department store that carries everything from clothing, makeup, housewares, furniture, etc. Over the years my wife has loved their seasonal items; Christmas in particular. They have a nice array of decorations and Christmas bears which she has begun collecting as she does the Harrod's Bears.
Our last visit to a Myer's store was right before Easter. They had nice displays of Easter Bunnies, chicks, candies, Easter Baskets and toys for the holiday.
What to pay: Prices here are reasonable for a department store so it would fit into any budget.

Oz is a typical souvenir shop we found in Fremantle. They have the usual tee shirts, hats, post cards, toys, etc. that you'd find in any souvenir shop. After perusing the merchandise I found a tee shirt I wanted and Liz found a hat for her Dad.
The tee shirt was $20 AUD and the hat was $12.

The worst thing about shopping is when you want to pee and can't find the loo. In Perth the most likely places are the railway station and Carillon City Food Hall, but you have to pay if you want to use these loos. So I'm going to suggest a couple of places that are accessable and free! In the Perth Murray St Mall, David Jones has the loos on the ground floor, near the food section and Myer has the loos on the below ground floor, down the escelator to your right, through the ladies clothes section.
Guess this tip is now classed as a wierd and wonderful tip and chucked out there in google land. Check out the site below! Good for a laugh :o)

For a while i wondered what the bungee net was doing laying flat in the back of the car, then i found out. The area around us has lots of little vinyards and earger growers who will sell you the stuff a lot cheaper than you can get it elswhere, naturally. So off we went for a hard days tasting, we ended the day at Peel Ridge in Karrup, my favourite, everyone was so friendly and we were made very welcome. The net, in case you haven`t worked it our yet, is to keep the wine from rolling around in the back of the car.

I'm sure everyone would know about K-mart store. Perhaps American's Wal-mart is better :P

We arrived in Australia on a public holiday and as what we were earlier advised by our Australian friends, most of the department stores and malls were not opened. We had a kitchen in our rented cottage and what a waste it would have been if we could not cook on that very day.
The Independent Grocers of Australia (IGA) somehow goes against the norm of how the Australians do business. They are opened seven days a week and the stores only closes at 9pm each day.
What to buy: Groceries - IGA has a widespread of offerings.
