Free guide · The Yarra Valley Op Shop Trail
The Great Eight
A dream day in the Yarra Valley for thrifting queens.
Eight op shops, one easy loop, and a whole day out. I’ve worked out the route, checked every shop’s opening hours and allowed real time for a proper rummage — so all you have to do is pick a day and follow along.

What’s inside
Everything you need for one really good day.
Twelve pages, no fluff. Here’s what you get.
Eight hand-picked op shops
Across Lilydale, Yarra Glen, Healesville and Coldstream — with an honest description of what each one is actually good for.
A route that makes sense
The order to visit in, worked around who closes when, so you’re never standing outside a shop that shut an hour ago.
Two full itineraries
A weekday run of all eight shops, plus a seven-shop Saturday version for when Coldstream Op Shop is closed.
Realistic timings
Every stop includes getting there and parking, with enough time left to have a proper look around.
Opening hours for every shop
A full week-by-week table, plus which days are worth the drive and which two to skip entirely.
Clickable addresses
Every address in the guide opens straight into Google Maps, so you can navigate from stop to stop on your phone.
Snacks and side quests
Coffee, lunch and bathroom options along the way, plus a few optional extras for when you’re making good time.
A map of the loop
The whole day at a glance, so you can see how the four towns and eight stops fit together before you set off.
No catch
The guide is free. Genuinely.
If this guide saved you some time, money or research, you can shout me a coffee to say thanks. It’s completely optional — the guide is yours either way — but every coffee goes towards making the next one.
