Things to do in Blue Mountains, New South Wales: The Best Shopping
The Blue Mountains are named for the delicate azure haze that lingers along the region, which is actually a fine cloud of oil emitted by eucalyptus trees. The mystical mountains are a labyrinth of plateaus, gorges and gum trees. Check out the Katoomba Scenic Railway (the steepest railway in the world), the Jenolan Caves and the Giant Staircase nature walk.

Funky retail store for guys and gals at the top of the stunning Blue Mountains.

Visited “Teddy’s” 18 months ago and it stuck in mind as the perfect place to return to if I need to eventually replace my “old faithful.” Well I needed to do so recently obtaining a high end, quality Italian leather wallet at a reasonable price that aim delighted with. Teddy Sinclair is a great place to visit and browse and (in my case, subsequently) purchase. Friendly and efficient staff and an asset to the the unique Leura Shopping Mall. Highly recommended.

Fantastic range of antiques and collectables, an absolute treasure trove! Spend hours each week walking through the maze that is Black antiques. Continuously find a large range of bizarre books, military memorabilia, beautiful oriental art and vintage clothing that I just cant go home without! Wonderful atmosphere, good customer service and beautifully natured shop dog Mr. Brown makes the time just fly by. Well worth the visit if you're a local or visiting the blue mountains area looking for something a bit special or different

We always stop in here whenever we are in the mountains or even passing through. Beautifully styled shop and divine flavours. Our kids love their Rocky Road which comes in different flavours (traditional, orange and winter fruit). The honey & lavender and mango & chilli are just mouth watering. They have recently moved from a long narrow shop near the top of the mall to a wider, bigger retail space shop at the bottom of the mall. They are now located next to Cafe Madeleine which they also run.

My partner and I were ready for a bush walk down to the falls but unfortunately weather was not on our side so we decided to head into the Gallery which was just down the street. The gardens alone are beautiful. The art works inside were fantastic, Ian and Anne were very welcoming and happy to answer any questions we had. Highly recommended checking the place out if you’re in the area.
10. The Nook

The Nook began in Jan 1996 with just 12 members at the historic "Everglades"at Leura. It moved to the current location in Leura Mall in September that same year. The shop has been trading consistently since its inception with the membership growing to between 25 to 35 people. It is now one of the oldest artisan co-ops in Australia! Feel free to visit us 7 days a week with opportunities to watch artists and artisans at work. The Nook is a collective marketplace which showcases the work of local artists, designers and artisans. As a co-operative all members share the rent, fees, duties and everyday running of the shop. The shop is, therefore, run by volunteers. Enjoy your visit!
