Her spree appeared to be a successful one, as she was seen departing the mall while carrying several labelled bags of clothing.
She was later seen sitting down and reading a menu at a local cafe.
Zara and her husband Mike, 45, are frequent visitors to Australian shores and were last in the country late last year.
The pair spent Christmas back in the UK before returning Down Under for the Magic Millions.
Zara and Mike aren’t working royals and don’t take money from the Sovereign Grant and fund their lifestyle through various brand deals.

The royal was seen shopping at major Australian labels like Seed
In 2012, Zara was announced as the first Magic Millions Racing Women Ambassador.
She now travels to Surfers Paradise in Queensland every year for the Gold Coast Yearling Sale, seven days of auctions which culminate in a major race meeting where all contenders are horses bought at previous Magic Millions auctions.
Brand experts have said Zara could be netting ‘millions’ from the deal.
During their trip to Australia last year, they were seen at luxury boutiques and taking in wine tours.
She’d also been shopping at iconic footwear and clothing brand R.M. Williams
… And middle market retailer Country Road
The married couple speak fondly of the country as it is where their love story began.
They met at Sydney bar in 2003 while Mike was ‘drowning his sorrows’ after being cut from the England World Cup squad and Zara was on a gap year.
The pair have been married since 2011 and have three children – Mia Grace Tindall, Lucas Tindall and Lena Elizabeth Tindall.
During a trip Down Under in 2020 they even rang in the New Year in Sydney with an A-list crowd including Rebel Wilson.
Zara also browsed the beauty section at Sportsgirl
Her entourage inspected various items of makeup products
Last year, Zara and Mike were the toast of the town as they spent time in Adelaide, South Australia and attended the Adelaide 500 motor racing event.
The British equestrian indulged in a VIP shopping experience at an exclusive boutique in the city, leaving with armfuls of sartorial acquisitions.
She booked in a session at the Sally Phillips designer clothing boutique, which is accessible by appointment only.
Mike recently launched his own range of Budgy Smugglers after wearing the revealing swimwear on the UK version of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
His range comes with cheeky slogans including ‘nibble my nuts’ and ‘Vanilla Mike’ with all proceeds donated to charity.

They are being sold for $63 (£35) per pair and profits go directly to Cure Parkinson’s to help power their research in finding a cure for the disease.
The rugby royal saw his wealth rocket to almost £1 million (AUD $1.8 million) following his appearance on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
Figures for his company Kimble Trading Limited show reserves held by the firm more than doubled in the time covered by the show.
The figures are for the 12 months to the end of March this year, covering the time of his appearance in the ITV show last year.

The return is the best performance for the company in years and follows his successful stint on the ITV celebrity show in which he finished fourth, impressing fans with his down to earth character and hilarious royal anecdotes.
Mike has won praise for his down to earth nature and calmness as well as his tales of the royal family.
In one he recalled ripping his trousers while performing a ‘slut drop’ dance move in front of the Queen to reveal his underpants said ‘nibble my nuts’.
He said the Queen took one look and said ‘I’d rather not.’
In another he revealed that he and Zara bonded over an alcohol fuelled lunch on their first real date.
He said: ‘Ended up being quite a boozy one. Then we figured out that we both quite like getting smashed. It was a good start.’
