Australian Department Stores or similar

Hi, I will be visiting Australia and staying with relatives most of the time. I want to get them something for putting me up and have decided that gift vouchers would be most suitable.

I will be staying in Perth before I visit them in Canberra and Sydney, does anyone know Australia well and could suggest a store I could go to in Perth to buy the vouchers which also have branches in Canberra and Sydney where they could be spent?

Thank you:D

    Probably Myers, they're in every major Australian city (and lots of smaller ones too). In Perth it's in the main square, in the huge shopping mall opposite the main Post Office.

    Second vote for Myer - but instead of buying just a Myer voucher, buy a Coles Myer Giftcard, which is valid at Myer, Target, Kmart and Coles amongst other stores. It's a lot more useable, and will be useful in all the states you are going to visit. They can be pre-loaded with any value between 5 and 500 AUD.
  • yes definitely agree with the Coles Myer giftcard - love Target!

    Would agree with this, they can then treat themselves or use it to buy their weekly shop (just make sure you buy Coles Myer not just Myer). FYI, the other big department store here is David Jones
