The Sunnie Coast is a treasure trove of Australian antiques. Perhaps because of it’s rich heritage or perhaps because of the fantastic community that love to keep history alive. At the end of the day, the Sunshine Coast is a great place for antiquing treasure hunters, and here’s why.
There’s a huge range of awesome antique shops. Buyers will delight in exploring the diverse and eclectic range of stores. Make sure you check out Patsy Kimbell Antiques in Mooloolaba which features a huge range of rambling antique collections. You’ll find things ranging from trinkets to more serious treasures of days gone by
Find fantastic vintage clothing, industrial goodies, rustic furniture, second hand books, music memorabilia, vinyls, 70’s clothing, second hand dealer buyers and more at Antiques and Flash Trash in Buderim.
Look for Elvis out the front and you’ll probably stumble accross The Time Machine in Nambour, a great place to find memorabilia. Isabella’s at Noosa Heads is probably your best bet for fine jewellery and handmade treasures although an alternative is George Magasic & Son’s Jewellery, Antiques and Collectables not too far away at Noosa Junction.
Tucked away in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland you’ll find Peachester, and a great little store named Good Old Days.
There are many other popular spots for antique sellers to shop and buyers to browse, meaning you’ll need a keen eye and a dab hand at haggling, but the experience is well worth it for those who delve.
When on the Sunshine Coast make sure you keep an eye out for the weekend markets, you never know what kind of treasure you will find.
