Firstly, a very warm welcome to Australia's only Factory Outlet Home Page, dedicated to you the Factory Outlet Shopper.

Our year 2006 editions continue to celebrate the success of Factory Outlet operations in Australia. With the proliferation of factory outlet openings offering all manner of consumer goods from famous manufacturers most Australians within the eastern states now have access to Factory Outlet Shopping and genuine deep discounters.

In the past two years we have seen the development of Factory Oulet malls, prosper. DFO Homebush, a shopping site the Sydney Morning Herald has said has contributed to the revitalisation of the outer suburbs, has proved a model for expansion, while raising the ire of a few monopolists. DFO Moorabbin has expanded and DFO Essendon has been built to be one of the finest discount outlet centres in Australia.

Value for money is the criteria for savvy shoppers everywhere and with this in mind we offer you new outlet findings during 2006.

As always, we have discovered new and exciting outlets offering useful products at great savings. More electrical goods outlets offering major white goods, more baby wear and other essential gear, more childrenswear, more power tools, more home office home entertainment furniture, more food including the  purpose built Ardmona SPC complex at Mooroopna near Shepparton, Victoria. Birkenhead Point at Drummoyne, offering delightful bargain packed stores on the shores of Sydney Harbour and Market City with a bonanza of bargains in the heart of Sydney.

Trade Secrets at Chermside, Macgregor and Southport, Queensland and Harbour Town at Biggera Waters on the Gold Coast offer unique quality shopping to our Queensland readers. As does Perfume Connections and Australis, for perfumes and cosmetics and Beep World for electrical goods. DFO at Brisbane Airport has the largest centre for discounted goods in the state.

We have more small luxury items including fine jewellery and imported perfumes, more shoes from workboots to high heels, more home decor items from soft furnishings to fine lace tablecloths to crystal picture frames, more fashion for every member of the family including some particularly nice outlets for men, more larger sizes including ladies swimwear, plus pet products, furniture, garden pots, plants, golf gear and much more too numerous to mention here. Our web site is designed as a support tool for the Australian Factory Outlet Industry. Please understand our books are not published on line and are only available in paper form at normal book outlets or purchased through this web site.

As Factory Outlets have proved they can expand and operate profitably against major shopping centres, some in the community would like to see the competition they produce, removed.

Don't be fooled into paying unnecessarily high prices. Shop in Factory Outlets whenever you can.

By now you undoubtedly know that owning a copy of the Year 2006 PAMM'S GUIDE for your state will pay for itself the first time you use it. And thank you for your continued support. Enjoy and happy shopping.
