This attractive jumble of a shop seems like your standard ‘eclectic antique’ store from the outside but as you go deeper inside the order gives way to ceiling high piles of sideboards, old advertising signs and strange objects from years past. It’s kind of like wondering into your granddad’s garage – if grandad had a killer eye for antiques, farmhouse furniture, 60’s sideboards and industrial cast offs mixed with a healthy appreciation for curios and Australiana...
You may need to fossick around a bit for that great ‘one off’ item – but The Junk Shop is one place that deserves quality browsing time. We always end up ogling the glassware collection.

I know...
Well I'm finally and officially homesick... I'm Australian but have lived in the States for the past seven years and am addicted to AT. All these Australian posts though are making me yearn for home...

Woohoo, glad to see Aussie entries here.
Is there somewhere I can send suggestions for Perth entries?
