Discover why second-hand is as good as gold by taking part in our Second-hand Treasure Trail!

Join the Boroondara Second-hand Treasure Trail in October for a self-guided tour of local second-hand shops.

It’s a great way to discover hidden treasures in your neighbourhood while supporting the environment by buying second-hand.

From vintage clothes to classic books and unique furniture, each shop gives you a chance to find something special and give pre-loved items a new life.

How to participate

To join the fun all you need to do is: 

  • Collect your Second-hand Treasure Trail card: Pick up a competition card at any of the participating shops from Wednesday 1 October.
  • Follow the trail: Visit 5 different shops and stamp your competition card at each store. A visit to a store is all you need to get your card stamped — no purchase is necessary.
  • Go into the draw to win a voucher: Once you've completed your card, send it to us. You’ll go into the draw to win a $50 donated voucher to use at one of the following shops, which will be chosen at random:
    • Sacred Heart Mission in Hawthorn
    • MS Community Shop in Kew
    • Hope Community Op Shop in Balwyn
    • Rotary Fair Trade and Gift Shop in Kew East
    • Vinnies across Boroondara

You can enter more than once by completing another card.
