Aside from a night at the Sebel and two nights at the QStation historical accommodation of North Head, Manly turned up a few opshop surprises for Madame B, Kasper and I.
First of the bat, St Vinnies dropped four die cast metals into Kaspar's hands at 50c for the lot - thanks to kindly white-haired lady.

Next after casual carouselling around the festive alleyways we made our way over to the Lifeline establishment. With it's impressive book assemblage front counter and trash boutique appeal I was impressed with the Fisher & Price kids plastic recordplayer (with its pianola type slab records included) in the window - but not by its $45 price, although I was assured that an item like this went for $1000 on Ebay recently. Oh well, I may have let that one slip by, and instead found something which I should be able to find a good home for for a friend's upcoming birthday..
Music From The Big Top - The Merle Evans Circus Band - Tradition - 1974
Down the road apiece we stumbled onto the Salvos store (sorry no photo), and although I walked out with no booty Madame B added these fine porcelain plates to her growing Crown Lynn stack ($2.50 apiece)..
The granny trolley got slightly more heavier as we set out for the return ferry back to the city, leaving the North Head behind us..
