Reusers, upcyclers and lovers of all things retro are invited to travel back in time on a road trip around Corangamite Shire.
"We are excited to invite everyone along to the official launch of the Vintage Road Trip," Mayor Kate Makin said.
"Council has designed a map to guide serious collectors and casual treasure hunters alike around Corangamite's op-shops, collectables, bric-a-brac, antiques and second-hand shops.
"The self-guided tour itinerary is hosted on Council's theplacetogrow.com.au promotional website. There are 21 businesses so far and new destinations can easily be added.
"The Vintage Road Trip will be promoted online, through our email and print newsletters and with flyers in posters and visitor information centres.
"There are an increasing number of day-trippers coming to the Shire from the bigger cities.
"We want to make sure they know about the hidden gems in the Shire and visit all of our towns as they look for a great find."
The Vintage Road trip will be launched with coffee and breakfast bites at the Pombo Mart on Thursday 30 October.
"The event is free but please register for catering purposes."
"Come along to the big yellow shed on the highway and have a coffee, light catering, conversation, and a browse around.
"You can also sign up for shopping bus trips which we are organising in co-operation with Camperdown Community House."
