Canberra Vintage & Collectible Centre

The Canberra Vintage & Collectible Centre sits on Barrier Street at Fyshwick, in Canberra's south. A treasure-trove of a retailer, it's earned a strong reputation — bringing together vintage goods, antiques, collectibles and retro treasures from many vendors under one roof, the kind of fun, characterful spot that vintage lovers and bargain hunters adore.

The appeal is that combination of a vast, ever-changing array of vintage and collectible finds and the genuine thrill of the hunt: from antiques and retro homewares to records, memorabilia and one-off curios, you never quite know what you'll discover. It's a brilliant spot for collectors, vintage lovers and anyone who enjoys a good rummage, with the bonus of a sustainable, second-hand-first way to shop.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 240 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The stock, vendors, range and opening hours vary — and vintage stock changes constantly, which is part of the fun — so it's worth checking current details if you're after something specific, though for a browse and a rummage through the treasures, it's often just a matter of heading to the Canberra Vintage & Collectible Centre at Fyshwick.
