Mark your calendars as historic Morpeth transforms into a vintage treasure hunter's paradise. The Morpeth Village Treasure Trail invites locals and visitors to explore the town's rich heritage while discovering unique antiques, collectibles, and vintage finds. This special event is part of the nationwide Garage Sale Trail, promoting reuse, sustainability, and community connection.
Visitors can follow a one-kilometre self-guided trail along Morpeth's heritage-listed High Street, exploring pop-up dealer halls and mini-markets housed within some of the town's most beautiful historic buildings, including churches and community halls. The journey continues along Swan Street, where boutique shops, artisan stores, and cosy cafés add to the experience.
Expect an impressive range of vintage furniture, homewares, retro fashion, artwork, and collectibles. For collectors and curious treasure seekers alike, expert dealers will also offer free, no-obligation coin and stamp valuations—giving visitors the chance to uncover hidden treasures or forgotten family heirlooms.
The event is also a great excuse to enjoy a weekend in Morpeth, soaking up the atmosphere, browsing local businesses, and spending time with family and friends.

Mimili Maku Arts is an Aboriginal-owned and governed art centre based in Mimili Community on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, South Australia. For over 20 years, it has supported artists to sustain strong cultural practice through painting, bush camps, and community-led knowledge sharing grounded in Tjukurpa, Country, and kinship.
This exhibition marks the public launch of Alpiri Kuwari, Mimili Maku Arts' Living Cultural Collection, an artist-led approach to collecting that prioritises cultural authority, care, and continuity. Developed by the Mimili Maku membership, the collection keeps significant works connected to artists and Country, while opening pathways for cultural exchange beyond the APY Lands.
Bringing together works created in and around Mimili during recent bush camps alongside key works by founding artists, the exhibition traces the evolution of Mimili Maku Arts and the enduring strength of its cultural foundations. Shaped by the principle of ngapartji-ngapartji, reciprocity and shared responsibility, the exhibition invites audiences into an active relationship with living culture.
" Ka nganana Tjukurpa nyanga paluru tjananya kanyira, nganana kunpu ngaranyi. When we look after our own stories, after our own cultural obligations, we are strong." — Tuppy Ngintja Goodwin, Chairperson.
