Brisbane Shopping and Districts
(Brisbane, Queensland - QLD, Australia)
Brisbane and the nearby Gold Coast have many large shopping centres, pedestrainised precincts, supermarkets and modern malls, making this one of the best cities in Queensland for retail. Central Brisbane is home to the largest concentration of shops and often features lively street entertainment, buskers and a thriving street café culture.
The Queen Street mall, in the heart of the city centre, is one of the main shopping centres, with more than 500 speciality shops across two city blocks. Dominated by two large and impressive department stores, Myers and David Jones, Queen Street sells everything that you could possibly want, and much more besides. Nearby is the heritage-listed Brisbane Arcade, which is home to a number of Queensland's award-winning fashion boutiques and clothes shops.
The Gold Coast, close to central Brisbane, has several vast shopping complexes and malls, including the extremely popular Surfers Paradise in Cavill Avenue. Other major centres include the Oasis Centre on Victoria Avenue, Broadbeach - adjoining Conrad Jupiter's Casino, Raptis Plaza on the Esplanade - on the corner of Cavill Avenue, Pacific Fair on Hooker Boulevard, and Robina Town Centre, off the Robina Highway, which has over 200 specialist shops, five major department stores and a state-of-the-art multi-screen cinema.
For some of the latest high-street fashions in Brisbane, travel to the Fortitude Valley area. Around Brunswick Street, Wickham Street and Ann Street you will find countless trendy fashion boutiques and designer outlets. Ranging from designer labels to Aboriginal art galleries, antiques stores to gift shops, retail in the city is quite diverse.
There are also a number of duty free shops and shopping centres in and around Brisbane city centre, Fortitude Valley and at the Airport. However, when spending your money at duty free outlets, bear in mind that some duty free items may not actually have much duty added and can often be cheaper elsewhere, so it always pays to shop around for the best buys.
Opening Hours
Most shops in the Brisbane and Queensland area open from 09:30 to 18:00 Monday to Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and until around 21:00 on Thursday. Sunday trading is becoming increasingly popular in Australia, with shorter opening hours, although many of the local stores remain closed on Sundays at present.
