Does anyone know of any factory outlets or where to get good deals on branded clothes in Sydney?

Question

I just arrived in Sydney yesterday and I'm staying with my parents in Hornsby. I currently live in Auckland, New Zealand and there are a lot of brands that are not available there, like Sass & Bide, etc and I'm keen for some retail therapy without breaking the bank! Does anyone know of any really good places to shop, like factory outlets or op shops that would have the kind of stuff that I'm looking for? I'm only going to be here for the next 2 weeks. Thanks heaps!!

Hi there

The 2 best places that I know of a Birken head point and Homebush.

Birkenhead point specialises in the more upmarket types of brands

This website will show the stores available there

I have gotten some great bargains from there and it has a really nice food court that looks out over the harbour too.

Direct Factory Outlet is at homebush

Its website is

I personally don't like it as much because it gets quite crowded, especially on weekends.

If you are staying at Hornsby you could hop on a train to Strathfield or Glebe and then catch a bus from there to Birkenhead.

Not sure about the best transport to Homebush

Also seeings as you are at Hornsby you could just as easily hop on the train in the other direction to Tuggerah (central coast) There is a nice big Westfield factory outlet there that is also quite good

Hope you enjoy Aus and your shopping
