Worth a visit. Like any op shop, they are at the mercy of what people will donate to them.

Their prices are hit & miss. Too often, I think the people with the price tickets either just guess without checking whether the label is a cheapie or higher end, or are trying to squeeze maximum dollars out of each customer. 😐

Having spent many hours unsuccessfully combing lots of op shops searching for jeans for my son, it was well worth the $22 for a neat, tidy, "as new" pair, and to finish the search.😃 This shop is always clean & attractively presented, and the staff have always been pleasant & polite.
Friendly staff, spacious, well laid out & tidy, attractive presentation, sensible prices on books & cds. Very pleased to get a new winter top at half price - down to $3.50! Easy parking if you park at Aldi, across the road & a few doors to the west...👍😁

Very neatly organised, light & airy and great parking, provided you don't miss the turn immediately before the shop. A big thankyou for letting me use the toilet. Generally plenty of good gear... is it just me or are many of the big brand op shops getting a bit expensive?🤔
CWA Gift Shop

We just HAD to visit here after the episode of "Gourmet Farmer" where Matthew Evans dearly wanted to join the CWA to sell some of his baked goodies and had a very entertaining bake-off with one of their champion cooks!😂

Very interesting to browse around amongst the baked goodies & little kids' clothes, LOVE their custom tea towels & wish I'd bought a few more. Really enjoyed chatting with the ladies at the counter. I reluctantly passed on the jams, only due to air travel luggage restrictions😔, our bags already being of iffy weight.😉
