Best Shopping Centre North of Brisbane
For visitors from Brisbane, the Sunshine Plaza is very similar to The Hyperdome Shopping Centre. Or if you’re coming down from north Queensland, it is also similar to the Galleria Cairns. The Sunshine Plaza is an impressive mall with lots of different coffee outlets such as the “Little Sparrow’ where you can relax.
So many stores have online shopping these days.
There is Big-W online shopping, Target online shopping plus Coles online shopping. It’s a good idea to browse the Woolies catalogue before you shop or do your online shopping. While you are picking up your Woollies catalogue you can check out any clearance sale items. It’s so much easier to do Coles online shopping while relaxing in the outdoor dining spaces, then pick up your grocery store items later in the day.
