What to Buy: Aboriginal art and didgeridoos (authentic pieces from local artists), merino wool products, opals and gemstones, macadamia nuts, wine from Margaret River, Akubra hats, and boomerangs.
Local Products: Western Australian wines, jarrah wood crafts, sea salt products, and unique artisan goods from Northbridge galleries.
Shopping Districts: Hay Street and Murray Street in the CBD for mainstream retail. Subiaco and Northbridge for boutiques and independent shops. Markets on weekends for authentic souvenirs at better value.
Bargaining: Fixed prices in shops; bargaining possible at markets but not expected. Haggis and haggling are not part of Australian culture—polite negotiation may work for bulk purchases.
