[trish7025]

Hey Melbourne people, im headed your way in Sept and hope to visit some recomended ( by you ) op-shops.

Im primarily looking around the Dandenong, Frankston,Berwick area's.

Any suggestions most welcome.:-)

p.s. It's been years since i was at the Carribean Markets, are they any good ?

Thanks.

Ok.... so no Melbourne people go op-shopping.......:O

Check out the Victoria markets, as well ... and the clothes shops ... designer made clothing, one-off pieces ... there's an area with lots of these kinds of shops ... it's a long time since I went there, but I got fantastic items for low prices ... and knew that when I returned to Canberra, I'd be the only person with these items.

Frankston, not sure, but, if you come down the Mornington Peninsula..............

Mornington, Main St: Vinnies, RSPCA, Salvo's, then I know of one other off Main St, can't think of the st, but if you are interested can find out.

Dromana, I think there is 2

Rosebud, there is 10, that I can think of right now... wait I think I missed one, 11, or maybe 10, keep losing  count.

Rosebud West there is 1

There used to be one at Tootgarook, but don't know if it is still there, there is 2 at least in Rye, not sure if there is any at Sorrento.

Does that help 😄

Oh, forgot Mt Eliza, there is 2 there.

Not to mention places like Sommerville, Balnarring, and others.

Terrific..!  Thanks  Katy and my2, sounds great. I could go to the Rosebud area as well...i have no structured plans....wow 10 in Rosebud   !!

I havn't been to Rosebud in prolly 30 years......lol....

😮 Farkkkkkk im old........

[my2cuddlycats_not]

It hasn't changed much :8}

Oh, and in Rosebud there is the Vintage Bazaar, not op-shoppy, but well worth a look.

Vintage Now (Linda) has a stand there/

There are some wonderful clothes and items there.

I haven't posted links, but if you are interested just google those names. 😄

Was a good one in Flinders only open on Wed.

Did very well from that one--still have some of the books.

Might not be there now because that was 45 years ago................Richo.

Trish, there's the Sunday Camberwell market. A load of worthless items but a bargain can be found. Also, if you don't mind the drive, Philip Island has a very upmarket Salvation Army - you can find some good quality items and visit the penguins in one go. 🙂

There are a couple in Pakenham if that is any help. I know one is a Vinnies.
