Garage Sale Trail is Australia's biggest secondhand treasure hunt.
Every November, homes, unit blocks, schools, community groups, charities and pubs across the country host garage sales and secondhand markets, on the same two weekends.
It’s all about making secondhand second nature - turning unwanted items into cash, scoring rare vintage bargains and keeping good stuff out of landfill.
An with more than 4 million pre-loved items going up for sale each year, you can find almost anything on the Garage Sale Trail.
The story so far
What started in 2010 in one neighbourhood, Bondi Beach, has grown into a nationwide movement powered by local governments, passionate hosts and bargain hunters across Australia.
Over the last 16 years, the Garage Sale Trail community has achieved incredible milestones together:
- 4 million Australians have participated at more than 134,000 garage sales.
- 7.2 million pre-loved items have been sold and saved from landfill.
- $52 million has been generated for households, community groups and charities.
- More than 2 million new community connections have been forged.
2026: The Last Hurrah
This November marks the final ever Garage Sale Trail.
After 16 amazing years of bringing communities together, 2026 is our national grand finale.
Whether you’re a seasoned thrifter or joining us for the very first time, this is your very last chance to be part of one of Australia's favourite secondhand movements.
