I did notice the Outdoor Store - indeed I made a mental note that next time I was looking for English Riding Apparel, I would call in. ;-)
Sadly we have very little independant, unique retailing left in Australia - anything as big as the Outdoor Store would almost certainly be part of a national or multi-national chain. There is one significant exception in Sydney, a company called Gowings, but the idiosyncracies of stores in different towns and cities have largely been replaced by the blandness and sameness of the chain store. :-\
