Hi ChrissyB
you can buy from any shops before you leave for overseas within 30 days, goods must total more that $300 on the one receipt (this is important) and look for the TRS sign after you go through customs this is where you get a refund on the GST portion usually payable into a credit card account i find the easiest way. If claiming for a laptop or many items watch the total amount you are claiming. Last trip hubby and I claimed for laptop and also video camera, he claimed the laptop i claimed the video camera so we didnt go over the limit. You also need to have all goods with you on the flight not in booked in luggage, they will ask to sight everything. Hope this helps but if you have other questions just ask.
Have a great time.
