Due to my growing obsession with all things vintage, I have to admit that I made our travelling group make a special trip to Castlemaine to visit this place….and I am very glad to report that it was worth the detour!

The Restorers Barn is basically wall to wall relics and collectables, all inside a huge old barn.

If you are renovating an old home, or wanting some period features for a new home, you will find everything here!

Or if you are like me, and just like wandering through bygone eras, then the Restorers Barn definitely a place to visit!

There are thousands of items…and I am not kidding!

This is just the entrance area….
