GARAGE SALE TRAIL
Garage Sale Trail happens every year across Australia. It’s a big
weekend encouraging us to put secondhand first and minimise
our impact on the planet. Every garage sale has a unique style
and gets a sale page that provides clues to who’s involved, what’s
on offer and anything else that’s going down. It’s like a treasure
map to second hand greatness. Likewise, shoppers can search for
sales, items of interest and make your own Trail of favourite sales
to checkout.
For more information and registration see garagesaletrail.com.au
