3. Australia is one of those countries that are technologically and
culturally advanced with people belonging to every possible
culture. Tourists or new residents of Australia and specifically
Sydney can get a lot of fun and entertainment.
There are world class shopping centers, designer boutiques,
specialty shops and departmental stores. Places to shop in the
Central Business District CBD are located within easy walking
distance to each other, but there are other major shopper
paradise centers in the outer suburbs such as MacArthur,
Chatswood, Parramatta and Penrith.
The beachside suburbs also have their own collections of
speciality shops as well as everything else, more suited to
Sydney’s relaxed beach culture, much in contrast to its more
serious business side.

The Strand Arcade, originally built in 1892, is a beautiful old
arcade with ornate wrought iron lace balconies and was the last
of the Victorian age arcades built in Sydney. There was a fire in
1976 that had almost destroyed the whole building, but the
shopkeepers got together and had it fully restored to its original
design. You’ll find clothing, jewelry and accessories and
gourmet food specialty shops.
