Heading south to visit my father usually involves a quick scrum around his local area under the Dandenongs and in the past has been fruitful, even when space travelling has been premium.
This trip time was short and it wasn't till the 2nd day that gold was struck..

| Aussie Veterans - Boronia, Vic. |
Aussie Veterans Opportunity Shop just had that look to it as we pulled up out front and I subjected my dad to waiting out an intensive check of a large range of black vinyl that were all for that almost forgotten figure of a $1 each. After 3 full shelves inspected, half a dozen purchases under the belt and then, as a sidestep to the usual items for this blog, I came across what has to be my best boot (not car boot) buy for many a year.. and for a grand (almost makes me weep) price of $3!!

| Decent leather tieups |
A quick jump up the suburb to the Salvos procured a neat Western Film Theme and an English Folk Dances platter, although a shift in economy now forced the payment of $2 each.. indeed..
