Vinnies Katoomba

This is one of the best Vinnies around. Two levels of treasure-hunting, charity-supporting delight.

There was an old radiogram in the other day, besides the usual second hand clothes and books. They’ve got quite the range of crockery and glassware too, if vintage pieces are your thing. Saw some lovely handpainted plates suitable for the highest of high teas for a measly $1 each. Upstairs, there’s furniture and manchester, including a pink velvet couch and a selection of jigsaw puzzles just about guaranteed to be missing one piece.
