Australia’s biggest secondhand treasure hunt
7-8 & 14-15 November 2026
Thrift happens
Bargains, treasures and landfill‑saving legends.
Sell what you have and buy what you love across two big weekends of garage sales and thrift markets—where dusty old stuff gets a glow‑up and someone else’s trash becomes your holy grail.
The Garage Sale Trail is your excuse to clear out the cupboards, raid the garage, and finally part ways with the things that are too good to bin but definitely not coming back into fashion in your house. On the flip side, it’s the perfect chance to score absolute bargains, uncover unexpected treasures, and feel smugly superior about buying second‑hand.
Join in for one day, one weekend, or go full legend and hit multiple sales. Participation is free, easy, and open to everyone—no fancy setup required, just good vibes and reusable stuff looking for a new home.
Every item sold is one less thing heading to landfill. Every purchase is a tiny win for the planet. And every sale proves that reuse isn’t boring—it’s clever, social, and surprisingly addictive.
So grab a coffee, follow the map, chat to strangers about their weird lamps, and become the kind of person who saves money and the planet. Honestly, hero behaviour.

Whether you sell from home, join a local market or team up with neighbours for a thrifty street party, we’ve got your back with free tips, promotional materials and support to help you sell more.
Thanks to the support of your local council, it’s free to take part — and you don’t need a garage (or even a front yard). From unit blocks to schools and community groups, anyone can get involved.
Sell on one day or more over 7-8 & 14-15 November.
