Hi
Does anyone know of any Australian websites where I can look at stuff like beds, quilts, bedding and other household goods such and quilts, cutlery, dinner services and muffin tins

Someone posted a great link the other day but that was for electrical goods.

I am trying to decide whether or not to take some of the above items. I will not be shipping any furniture, and I would like to make some comparisons.

Thanks.

Debs,

You can see IKEA from the Pacific Highway when you drive from Brisbane to the Gold Coast - just before Beenleigh. There's also an outlet shopping centre called Harbour Town near Biggera Waters (Gold Coast) which has a few houseware shops - Sheridan (same as you get in smart UK shops but cheaper), and the David Jones Warehouse (few small electricals there as well). Also china/glass/kitchenware/curtains and mattress shops! There are also clothes from designer through to $1 T-shirts.
It seems very popular - open 7days.

Lesley
