After a wonderful launch of the new Corangamite Vintage Road Trip put together by Business Corangamite, you can now book in to join us for bus tours following the map!

We are so excited to be a part of this fantastic initative supporting our local vintage, second hand and recyled goods traders. These tours are perfectly timed to get ready for Christmas and end of year festivities, come along and grab some special gifts for loved ones while supporting local businesses.

We are running two half day tours, sponsored by Corangamite Shire Council and each tour is only $10 per person, with all proceeds going to community house. These tours are very similar to the amazing op shop tours we run every year, but this time it's in our own patch!

If you’re from the north, why not take this opportunity to explore the south and vice versa! With the bus provided, it’s the perfect chance to discover a different part of Corangamite without the hassle of driving.
