Australian travel websites??? Anyone?
Does anyone know of any travel websites like Travelzoo that specialize in domestic travel within Australia? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks

what sort of sites are you after? the sort that allows you to book something on line, or just somewhere to gather info?

Well we're on the website topic, I have a (really) different question.
What are good shopping websites for Australia? I would like to buy my two favorite "Sydneysiders" some holiday gifts without paying outrageous international shipping. (I'm in the US) Anything like amazon.com or target.com in Oz? I've searched on my own with no luck. Thanks much! |

In answer to Tim_and_Liz's question, David Jones department store delivers hampers for cost of hamper + 9 AUD. Hampers start at 39.95 AUD for the Afternoon Tea Hamper, go up through the 69.96 Chocolate Lovers Hamper, the 79.95 After Dinner Hamper, and the 89.95 AUD Coffee Break Hamper. You get the picture.
http://www.davidjones.com.au/hampers04/home.jsp Peter's of Kensington in Sydney sells cutlery, dinnerware, glassware, homewares, leisure goods, stationery, travel goods, hampers: http://www.petersofkensington.com.au/ Here is a website with links to online bookstores in Australia: http://sufface.net/links/online-book...books-oz.shtml From what I can tell from the website of Target in Australia, one can place an order with them by phone, but not online. All that said, I don't know where you've received the impression that the cost of international shipping is outrageous. I think it's quite reasonable, especially if you send gifts that don't weigh much and if you leave yourself enough time to send them by air mail and are not forced to send them by courier at the last minute. Depending on what the product is, the cost of it in the U.S. plus postage may not be more than the cost of the same item in Australia. The advantage of having something sent to your friends from within Australia is that they would not be charged import duty on the package (although I'm not sure at what declared rate import duty would go into effect anyway). |
