A favourite pastime, or time waster, is exploring op shops. Within a short walk from the Burleigh Beach Tourist park there are three of them. Surprising really, considering that Burleigh appears to be an affluent area.
Saturday afternoon found us strolling around the shopping area to check out the bargains. First stop, Vinnies. Closed for good due to Lease expiry. Second stop, Lifeline. Closed due to fire at shop next door, an Indonesian takeaway. Fire brigade in attendance creating some interest. Third stop, the Salvos. Open for business. We checked out the books and picked up a couple and also a great wall clock for $2.50. We have been looking for a similar clock for quite awhile.
Lifeline will be open for business today (Sunday) another excuse for a walk. A great thing about the Gold Coast area is trading hours. Many of the places we have visited close down early on weekends including supermarkets.
