What to Buy in Western Australia: The Ultimate WA Souvenir Guide

Western Australia is one of the most extraordinary places on earth, so make sure you take a little piece of it home. Whether it's your first trip to Perth or you're heading home after a big WA road trip, here's what to buy, from a family that has been helping visitors choose the perfect souvenir for over 30 years.

Only-in-WA souvenirs

  • Quokkas: you'll only find them on Rottnest and a few spots in the South West
  • Black swans: WA's state bird, on magnets and homewares
  • WA maps and landmarks: Ashdene's Land Down Under range
  • Perth and Fremantle designs: tees, caps and magnets

1. Quokka everything

The world's happiest-looking animal is WA's unofficial mascot. Our soft quokka plush toys come in several sizes, including a mum with her joey, and they're always a hit with kids and grown-ups alike.
