Brisbane

The Queen Street Mall is a pedestrian mall and Queensland’s premiere shopping destination with over 700 shops doing business seven days a week. Here you will find independent designers and a plethora of cafés to recharge. The mall extends approximately 500 metres from George Street to Edward Street.

Every Saturday at the Powerhouse in New Farm, check out the Farmers Markets where you can pick up Queensland’s finest pineapples and mangos, freshly caught seafood or just-picked vegetables. The farmers bring their goods to the markets literally on the back of their trucks. Open from dawn till around lunchtime but, for the best experience, be early to get the best produce and avoid the heat.

Brookside Shopping Centre is located less than ten kilometres north-west of the Brisbane CBD. It opened in 1971 as one of the first major shopping centres in Brisbane's northern suburbs. Stores you will find here are Bras 'N' Things, Millers, Zelows, Ruby & Tiffany and Bellrose Jewellers.

Camp Hill Antique Centre is an indoor market that stocks a great range of unique homewares. They also have jewellery, potteries and ceramics and a vast selection of vintage clothing from the twenties to the nineties. Visit their quaint diner called Tart Cafe for locavore eats.
