Sydney is ideal for some retail therapy with its endless selection of boutique's, markets and malls.

You can get virtually anything in this city... from nick knacks to high end fashions.

Head down to the markets at Chinatown, pop out to Newtown for some alternative living, stroll along the many boutique's in Paddington, Double Bay and Mosman or head to Harbourside at Darling Harbour for some touristy shopping or a yummy Haagen Daaz ice cream!

Whatever your fancy, there is a place for you to run up your credit card or empty your wallet...

So whatever you are after in Sydney, you can find a place to while away the hours or push your way through the crowds to find that bargain. Some paces offer great discounts for community members - and make sure you check out the annual Bobby Goldsmith Foundation's "Shop til you drop" event, where stores along Oxford Street and King Street donate a proportion of the days takings to this fabulous charity!
