    This was a beautiful shopping mall on George St in the middle of Sydney CBD. The building architecture itself was stunning, reminding me of a mall in Milan with its black iron work and stained glass windows.
    The stores inside tended to be upscale but were fun to window shop. There were several options for places to eat in the center of the hallways and there was a whiskey, gin and vodka tasting kiosk.
    It was a very nice place to spend a couple of hours.

    Although not from Hobart, I admit to some Tasmanian bias. That said, I prefer Salamanca market to this Rocks offering. The rocks Market is certainly a very pleasant, but crowded, stroll through the rocks with a huge number of stalls selling quality merchandise - jewellery, clothing, food, etc. Being adjacent to the overseas passenger terminal I would say that prices are geared towards the tourist - dearer than we might think reasonable, and poorer value for money than Hobart's Salamanca market which also has the bonus of a wonderful fresh fruit and vegetable section. On a hot day, the Rocks is a great place to buy some fudge or an ice-cream, but there is little seating, and not much shade apart from one under-cover section which we found grid-locked. Taking, or buying, water is a must; and it is worth bargaining, but generally we found prices to be inflexible.

    Browsed the many shops & luxury brands for sale as well as enjoyed a couple of hot chocolates a a small cafe. It was a great place to come & explore when wanting to kill some time. I would like to re-visit as this is the same location as the Sydney Tower.

    We discovered the Atty gallery while researching for our trip to Sydney. We met the wonderful artist himself and are now the proud owners of The Raft Family Otters and Sam and Charlie. So excited to display them at our family cottage on Mayne Island, British Columbia Canada.

    Go early, go hungry, and be prepared to enjoy some of the biggest, best seafood and freshest you will ever indulge in your life. Keep in mind, it is a seafood market so be prepared to enjoy a picnic-style outdoor meal. If you are afraid of birds take your food to go because they do not hesitate to try and steal your food, if you shoo them away they will move along to another patron.

    Pitt St is one of the oldest main roads running through Sydney’s CBD. The middle stretch, in the heart of the city, is a paved, pedestrianised mall.
    This is really just one big, concentrated shopping area and is dominated by big retail complexes like Myers, Sydney Tower and Westfield. Lots of chain-stores have their flagship shop here.
    For something a little bit different, it’s nice to walk through the Victorian-style Strand Arcade. Built in 1891, it has retained its old-world charm and houses more specialised shops and boutiques. Haigh’s Chocolates is always a drawcard here.
    Street performers regularly pop up in the mall and there is some limited seating in the centre of the mall, although its a busy area (especially around lunch time), so don’t rely on finding a spare seat.
    If you're not interested in shopping, you can skip it altogether.

    Wonderful gallery experience - a bit outside the tourist zone, which adds to the appeal. Staff on hand to explain the art (as well as placards). Lovely mix of pieces that engaged us throughout our visit. Top it off with a tasty snack of dumplings (get the chicken and lemongrass variety), tea and glass of wine. Highly recommend!

    We travelled here on a whim and caught the bus route 500 (I think) from Hyde Park for about 20 minutes then a short walk a block back from the stop. Check on your phone or ask a local which stop to get off at. It has all your usual international big brands like Tommy, Ralph, Calvin plus local stores. Pricing was good what I would expect but not quite as cheap as our outlet mall in NZ but the quality is probably a bit better. Like you won’t find a dump of 2 years ago styles. Some good deals on footwear and hubby spent a bit at Politix. Got a bit lost trying to find our way around, especially after we went downstairs to Aldi but there are electronic map boards around.
    Had lunch in the food court which has a nice atmosphere. Forgot to check the harbour view as we were tired! All up we were there for about 3 hours.

    This was a charming abet small market. I thought it would be a lot bigger. Easy to get to on the bus. A variety of booths from clothing to jewelry, to fruits and vegetables and a small but vibrant group of stalls with food to eat. I just thought it would be bigger. I did find a booth with knit clothing and ended up buying two knit dresses and a top and slacks. It was called Matea. The salesperson/designer was delightful and I have already worn two of the pieces. There is an online shop too.

    One of the many malls found along George Street . A mid size modern mall with a good mix of retail & dining. A decent size COLES supermarket adds to the attraction. Definitely one of the better mid range malls along George Street. Worth a visit

    Exterior facade looked very old but surprisingly the interior is very modern. Good varieties of shops/dining & a huge Asian supermarket. Paddy Market is in the basement of this mall.

    As an organic market, this is pretty amazing. Not only are there produce stalls, there are also food and household items to be found. There was live music on the grassed area and a jumping castle for the little kids.

    We drove from the Blue Mountains just to have a day out in Roselle, and to check out the markets. It mostly seems to be clothes, shoes, some jewellery, bric-a-brac ,books etc. Quite a bit of fashion brand clothes, but you can’t be sure whether they’re real or they’ve just stuck on the brand name. But it’s a pleasant place to walk around and have a little look and very close obviously to the Roselle shops which is great when you need a bit of lunch.
