Today I took a little trip down to an obscure place called That's Not Garbage, thanks to a brochure that El Pres brought to the monthly meetup, which has quite a range of surplus items which might be of use to costumers!

The website link above has all the details, though be wary to take cash with you as there are no EFTPOS facilities onsite.

A few items of interest that I saw were a couple of male and female mannequin torsos which were $35. There weren't many so anyone interested might want to get there quickly! wink.gif

I know I'll be going back there!

They have corflute and polysterene!

Must take a look myself one day.

There are many things that I could be proud of
If only I'd invented them, such as the wheel
The washing machine and the tumble dryer
On these inventions surely I could retire

I gather Canberra has reverse too

I went to this one last week - interesting stuff but not as nice as Reverse - lots of fabric pieces, foam/rubber sheets with cutouts, moulded packaging, cardboard, cones from industrial sized bobbins - definitely worth a look when you have nothing else to do - be warned they currently have roadworks on their street and when that finishes it will be a one way street going towards Port road - you will need enter the street from the far end to get to them.

It's not as nice as Reverse, but definitely has some interesting stuff
