Australian Way

T1’s Australian Way sits landside near international check-in at PER.

This shop in Terminal T1 leans hard into Australiana: think kangaroo plush toys under AUD 20, printed tea towels, boomerangs, fridge magnets, and local-brand toiletries. It’s an easy stop if you forgot gifts for family in row 10 of economy and don’t want to dig through duty free later. Being landside in T1 means you can shop before checking bags or while meeting arriving passengers at Perth Airport.

Hours usually track with international departures out of T1, roughly early morning through late evening, but it can close between banks of flights, especially after 22:00. Prices run higher than in the CBD: keyrings around AUD 8, T‑shirts often AUD 25–35, and stuffed animals easily hit AUD 30+. You’re paying airport markup for the convenience of grabbing recognisably “Australia” gear 50 meters from the check‑in counters.

Stock leans heavy on souvenirs and light on real travel essentials. You’ll see some neck pillows, power adapters, and basic snacks, but this is not the best spot in T1 if you mainly need cables or a full pharmacy top‑up. Think last‑minute gifts and postcard‑style souvenirs more than serious kit for a 14‑hour long‑haul out of Perth.

Tip: if your flight from T1 boards in the very early morning, shop the night before when arriving or during check‑in, as options airside in the small T1 international pier thin out fast once the late‑night departures clear.
