    Default Vintage Tool junkies.(BEWARE)

    Just a heads up, Bendigo(Victoria)National swap meet is on in November this year again.
    12/13 November.(Sunday is really only a half day, most traders start packing up from about 10/11 am.)

    Tho it is meant to be mostly automotive oriented,I have always come back with at least a few treasures.

    There is generally a quite a lot of old tools available, hammers, saws,planes, spoke shaves,tons off vintage spaners, extra, but also tons of other stuff that may attract Vintage tool junkies.
    Plus lots of other non Car stuff.

    I would be surprised if you left empty handed.

    But Now the BAD news, gates open 6.30 am yes that early, an it’s Bloody HUGE,(Tho Ballarat swap meet is even bigger actually it’s the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere 10 km off walking plus)

    I’ve had to park over 1 km way in the past from getting there after 8.30 am.

    An it can be dry an dusty,also it’s mostly Cash only [emoji6].
    An bring a cart if your a serious shopper.

    Cheers Matt.

    Um,
    MA I think you might have your dates mixed up, it’s next month.

    An if Victoria dries out I’m intending on going.
    But currently I’m stuck in Wedderburn an can’t get through too Bendigo or Melbourne.

    Cheers Matt.

    More Bad news,

    Ballarat swap meet is also now canceled, bugger.

    How is one meant to hoard(preserve for future generations [emoji6])when your Meccas keep getting canceled.
