Thanks for the suggestions I personally like the GPS idea, just one press and you're at the front door. I have similar for free camping sites throughout OZ, for me much better than trying to find places using a map but each to their own, it would be a boring world if we all thought the same.
Also thanks for the greetings. A nice site for us ole folk.

Hi,
During our travels we love doing a bit of Op shopping and I was wondering where I could get a list of Oz Op shops downloadable to my Garmin GPS. It would be extremely handy to have especially now that we each have physical disabilities and can't walk all over town like we've done in the past. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I haven't heard of this yet, but I agree it would be a brilliant idea.

Welcome from me too Love opshopping My suggestion would be to pop into the info centre when you arrive in a town I'm sure they would give you map of the town and mark where the op shops are.

Heres a good site that lists many of them, and you can add to the list as you find more... http://opshop.org/

I'm afraid that Op-shop website is useless to me. Doesn't even tell you what State, let alone what city or town most of these places are in.
Cheers,
Sheba.

Yes it does Sheba. Did you use the tabs at the top? I thought it was excellent.
If you click on 'Locations' it lists each state and areas within the states.
If you click on 'Organisations' it lists all the different organisations that are listed and how many shops are listed.

That would be brilliant to have that on GPS. I just love browsing through the bargains.

Welcome from us too oldpos. Have you tried the options on your GPS? Ours (Uniden) will give us all sorts of things that are 'around the destination'. I asked it for dentists one day and up popped my dentist's name!

If there is one for finding the closest loo, which hazel has, there must be something.
Might have a look at doing the op shops sometime as well.

Ouch !!! That'll teach me to rush through things too much. Thanks neilnruth. I'll have to have a proper look later, and see if they've missed any in Rocky.
