Cairns Shopping

  1. City Place Disposals

    City Place Disposals is the place to visit for affordable camping and outdoor gear. They stock a full range of tents, packs and everything else you'll need if you're 'going bush'. A good place to buy that Drizabone coat.

  2. Night Markets

    The nightmarkets are a treasure trove of Aussie tourist tack - the mandatory 'Cairns Australia' T-shirt, or if you need your name on a grain of rice. Head down the Esplanade after a hard day's reef diving and buy your relatives everything they've never wanted. You can never own too many stuffed koalas.

  4. Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park, Gallery & Store

    Forget the tourist shops, this is the place to come for authentic Aboriginal goods. Profits from the Tjapukai Gallery benefit the local Aboriginal community and the artists themselves. The Gallery also provides training and employment opportunities for Aboriginal people. Pick up an authentic termite-made didgeridoo or a genuine returning boomerang.
