Turning trash into treasure
Last year's inaugural Garage Sale Trail in Bondi was such a success that it's going nationwide this year! Garage sales are happening all over Australia, all on one day – 10th of April. The Garage Sale Trail is all about selling-off your unwanted or unused items, scoring some awesome bargains, and promoting reuse, recycling for sustainability in a fun and easy way.
This year, Vodafone is proud to be a major sponsor; and to help everyone get involved, we've launched our own Compass App. Designed for Apple® iPhone™ and BlackBerry®, it's the easiest way to navigate from sale to sale. Happy hunting!
