Every tourist visiting Australia has already seen the kangaroo keychain in souvenir shops, perhaps it is time to consider a different gift to bring home from your Australia vacation. A Sydney souvenir does not have to be of the country's favourite animal friend, it just needs to carry the Australian's spirit within. Here are some alternative Aussie souvenirs from Lladró.
There are little things that carry the Aussie spirit more than the ocean. Sydney is surrounded by the sun-filled sand and blue waves we all love. A piece like Lladró's Surf's Up Boy Figurine is perfect for remembering this holiday's surfing trip. If you want a small piece of the Australian waves to carry with you on further adventures, the elegant marine-coloured Aquarium Brooch is the one to have for keeping the dazzling tides close to heart.

For those looking for a more traditional souvenir, we recommend revisiting the Sydney's iconic landmarks anytime with the Sydney Lithophane. The LED lamp misses out on no landmarks, displaying the entire Sydney skyline completes with the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Royal Botanical Gardens, Manly Ferry, and Sydney Tower, all floating above the Sydney Harbour.

There are some merit to the kangaroo keychains, after all Australia are known for its diverse wildlife. From koalas to magpies to the white tail spider, it is no doubt many of us come to this Oceanic island to catch a glimpse of the country's peculiar animals. If you are fond of the 56 parrots that have made the Australian's forest its home, immersed yourself in a walk olfactory walk through a forest full of flowers and aromatic herbs even when you're back at home with the Parrot's Scented Treasure Green Candle.

For those looking for something more unique than birds, Lladró's Crocodile Figurine is the perfect choice to wow your house guests. To the Aboriginal people of Northern Australia, crocodiles embody the spirit of their tribe's ancestors and are a symbol of cunning, virility and primal strength. Why not celebrate and remember the cultural heritage of Country by honouring the native animal of the land and the connection it has to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
