Email us – media@newsofthearea.com.au At 10am, two hours after most of the trading commenced, Gail from Bohemia Court, Stuarts Point, told NOTA, “We have had a surprisingly busy morning, we could have sold lots of my hubbies cap collection, but they are his precious display, definitely not for sale.” Goods of all varieties were up for grabs, everything from good quality clothing, books, craft, garden and fishing paraphernalia to a small motorboat complete with fold-up trailer and roof racks. Organiser Briana Earle was pleased with all the effort both the vendors and shoppers put into the event, and from her own garage sale site said, “It’s fun and beneficial for all involved, most registered households will be open again tomorrow morning as well as next weekend, Saturday 27 and Sunday 28.” Briana and the participating sellers hope to repeat the community-based event within the coming months and maybe seasonally, making it ongoing and predictable as an effective way to disperse unwanted goods and make a little cash. By JEN HETHERINGTON Toys, cookware and furnishings were on offer, but none of the unique cap collection was for sale. Organiser Briana Earl (seated) chats with shoppers. A simple front yard set-up is not difficult to achieve. A trio of neighbours happily participated.
