Aborigine art, opals and sports articles (notably surfing) are the three great shopping themes in Australia. Paintings on wood or cloth, traditional objects (boomerang, didjeridoos), drawings or basketwork: you will find beautiful Aborigine works in a lot of shops. However, look out for imitations, and give preference to cooperative galleries that sell certified objects. Cut, mounted or raw, you will easily find opals in the large cities. Remember that 95% of the world opal production comes from Australia.
