Strathpine Flea Markets

Candy, Viccy and I had heard many different stories about these markets so we really weren't sure what to expect from them. We were also slightly unsure of the location and with footpaths closed and construction works it took a bit of guessing and a gamble upon whether the tents we could see in the distance were markets stalls or break areas for the workers, but with a bit of luck we found our way.

My style for the day was a definite clash of patterns but matching the colours made it work.

The markets were a great size with stalls along the car park and ovals and inside buildings and sheds. The range was just as had been describe on the website that I found these markets, a whole lot of trash and treasure with collectibles to such as crockery and coins but as large as the range was we past over most stalls very quickly. There weren't really any stalls that caught my eye and as nice as all the owners were I didn't come away with any insightful stories or lesson to pass on.

We finished at these markets very early in the day with very limited purchases and on a brighter side very full wallets.

Viccy bought a gold plated bracelet for $8

Candy bought a lovely teapot for $2

And I bought a paper making kit for 50c.

In all we had a good time and there was nothing to complain about but I wouldn't rate these markets very highly especially since they were rather difficult for us to get to.

Thanks for reading :)
