This adaptor is down to $45 at Myer, if you can get officeworks to price beat then you can get this for $42.75. A really good price if you want to use a compatible iMac in target display mode.

OP, which way round did you have in mind for Target Display Mode?
I don't think iMacs have supported it since 2011-12. For one of those, it would accept Thunderbolt 2 / DisplayPort in.
So, with this adapter, are you connecting, say, a 2016 MBP's USB-C port to a 2011 iMac to use its display?
MacBook Pro 2016 and also a Dell 7577 to a 27 inch iMac with a thunderbolt port, I think the year is 2011 or 2012.
Thanks for info. Hope it's working well.
This iadapter is to interconnect a thunderbolt 3 device with a thunderbolt 2 device. It is bi-directional so you can use it to connect a thunderbolt 3 HDD to a thunderbolt 2 mac or tb3 Mac to tb2 hdd.
It is for data only and does not support DisplayPort/DVI/HDMI monitors via DisplayPort cables or adapters.
For that you will need to buy a USB-C/thunderbolt3 to hdmi or dp adapter that is approved for OS X. Some are windows only and are permanently deactivated in OS X because they are older specs and not approved. Apple doesn't make a thunderbolt 3 to dp adapter so you will have to use third party adapters.
Been there, done that and wasted money on adapters that don't work.
I am planning on using this adaptor with this cable https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/352593 to connect through target display mode on a compatible iMac with a Macbook Pro 2016 and a Dell 7577.
Don't accidentally connect this to your Lightning port.
It's very, very frightening !!!
