Wantirna Trash and Treasure Market

Wantirna Trash & Treasure Market is part of Trash & Treasure Australia - Australia's first Sunday markets and largest operator of open-air chattel markets, operating since 1967. Located in Melbourne's eastern suburbs at 251 Mountain Highway, this iconic outdoor market brings together hundreds of stalls every Sunday (weather permitting) creating a vibrant marketplace where "one person's trash is another person's treasure." The market offers an incredible diversity of goods including second-hand bargains, vintage collectables and antiques, new goods, furniture, plants, goldfish, fresh fruit and vegetables, tools, clothing, jewelry, vinyl records, CDs, car parts, garden equipment, toys and craft items. Sellers set up from 5am without bookings required, while buyers can browse from 8am to 2pm hunting for unique finds and hidden gems. The inclusive, no-barriers environment attracts everyone from casual garage-salers to professional dealers and specialty vendors. Affordable entry ($2 adults, $1.40 pensioners, free under 15) with early bird option makes this accessible family entertainment. The market features a cafeteria with budget-friendly food including famous $2.50 chips, along with toilet facilities and ample free parking. Can get crowded especially on sunny days - arriving early offers the best selection and parking. A beloved Melbourne institution perfect for bargain hunters, collectors and treasure seekers.
