Forget Victoria markets, Camberwell or St Andrews markets, or any other hippy dive – Coburg Trash & Treasure is the real deal! Situated at the Coburg drive-in, it costs $1 per person to get in, unless you come from the Merri Creek bike path where you can step across rocks in the creek and climb a grassy hill and walk through a hole that’s been cut into the fence and save yourself the fee.
The name says it all: trash & treasure! It's like a hundred garage sales in one. Amongst people’s junk sprawled onto tables or blankets on the ground you can find some real gems. Videos, records, jewellery, car parts, clothes, plants, toys... you name it! It is hit and miss though, some weeks are better then others, but you should leave with at least one piece of junk that will sit on your shelf for years until you decide to have a stall at the Coburg Trash & Treasure.
