Yeah rent is cheaper.
So is food, a lot of services (eg dentristry) and public transport.
Try taking any of these back to the USA ... flying back home with $2
T-bone
steaks in your luggage is hardly the best in "bargain shopping".

When visitors come from the U.S., what are good bargains?
Electronics,
Opals,
Camera's, Watches, Cigars, Sheepskins? Thanks.
Maybe opals and possibly sheepskins. The rest of this stuff would be
cheaper
in the US.
Kangaroo skins are way cheaper here than in the USA - maybe
US$30-40.
There is almost nothing else I can think of which is significantly
cheaper
here than in the USA. This is not a shopping destination (at least,
not
for
Americans, who enjoy the world's best shopping).
Aussie booze; you can also get Cuban cigars in some specialty shops
but
they're the earth.
