The Great Newtown Garage Sale Day
There will be garage sales all over Newtown on Saturday 16th March from 9am till 12pm. There's a wonderful range of goods - from plants to furniture and everything in between - have a good browse of the offerings! Follow the link below to see the online map of this year's garage sales - click on the address to see what's for sale!
Please note that the Newtown Community and Cultural Centre on the corner of Rintoul and Colombo Streets will have their sale from 10am - 2pm - don't try and go early!
There are 23 sales entered online - most are around Newtown and are listed both online and on our printed map. Three are outside Newtown [at 115 Farnham St, 88 Aro St and 121b Brougham St Mt Vic] and not on the printed map.
Pick an address to start from, and the host there will have copies of the printed map so you can take a copy to guide your onward journey.
You can also pick up a map with all the listings on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning from the Newtown Library or from local cafes.
The Garage Sale Day will take place rain or shine. If its wet, check back and look at the online map, just in case there have been any cancellations by people who can't have their sale under cover.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
