Food & Drink Shopping Activities Outdoor
Best Gift for a Spouse
Australia's famed pink diamonds.

Best Gallery For Buyers
Jinta Desert Art and Aboriginal Art Gallery, which features paintings from the Central Desert Region of Australia.

Best Limo Service
Goldstar Limousines.

Best Tailor
J H Cutler, the finest in Australia.

Best Local Purchase
Australia's greatest wine, Grange. However if it is a recent vintage you will need to be prepared to lay it down for at least 20 years. The 1966 and 1967 vintages are superb. I recently had a 1983 which was rapturous.
