Top choice in South Coast NSW
Riotously colourful and thoughtfully run, Apma Creations displays and sells eye-catching art, handicrafts and accessories by Aboriginal makers. Magical desert paintings by owner Merryn Apma take centre stage, but there's work by Indigenous Australian artists from across the country. A large canvas may tip you over your luggage limit, but there's also jewellery, decorations and toiletries scented with traditional plants.
If an item's origins aren't clearly marked, just ask for the details.
