The ultimate guide to vintage and antique shops in West Vic

Read on for a haven of classic vinyl, carnival glass and enamel car signs.

If you’re on the lookout for the perfect pre-loved piece of clothing, furniture or fine china, go no further than the Brolga’s guide to the best spots around the region.

Murray Street Market 

This quirky establishment is an ideal place to spend a rainy afternoon, offering over 100 stalls from locals selling gifts, second-hand clothes, homewares, plants, chocolate and handmade goods.

Where: 249-251 Murray Street, Colac

Pombo Mart 

The big yellow Pombo Mart building is hard to miss on the drive from Colac to Camperdown. Originally the Camperdown Cheese and Butter Factory, the 133-year-old building has since been used as a piggery and poultry farm, before the warehouse-sized antique shop opened in 2002, selling plenty of history from across the region.

Where: 2856 Princes Highway, Pomborneit North

Element Bazaar 

If motoring memorabilia, classic cars and scooters or old tractors are your vintage vibe, Element Bazaar is packed with collectibles and bric-a-brac both large and small.

Where: 242 Manifold Street, Camperdown

Timor Street Market 

Warrnambool’s indoor Timor Street Market has more than 60 stalls, where you can discover new and pre-loved treasures and budget-friendly finds.

Where: 180 Timor Street, Warrnambool

Fletcher Jones Market 

Another factory-cum-vintage store, Fletcher Jones Market is in the former Fletcher Jones clothing factory. With a heritage-listed garden, the site is teeming with all the charm of yesteryear.

Where: Corner of Princes Highway and Flaxman Street, Warrnambool

Periwinkle Antiques 

In a town with as much old-time charm as Port Fairy, it’s only fitting to have an antique store to peruse during a visit. Enter Periwinkle Antiques.

Where: 24A Bank Street, Port Fairy

Baimbridge Antiques 

A bit more high-brow, Baimbridge Antiques sells art, vintage and custom-made jewellery and antique furniture.
