Anns Bazzar is truly bizarre and well worth a visit if you are travelling down the bass coast of Victoria down to Phillip Island. To visit it you depart from Melbourne the main city of Victoria, Australia and head towards Phillip Island, a popular holiday destination known for its beaches, penguins and Grand Prix. It lies on the bass coast highway, about an hour outside of Melbourne and you know you are getting close when you see the only Mcdonalds in the area and the only servo for while!
It's hard to tell what you will spot from the highway first, the sign offering hot doughnuts or the sign offering Pies? Maybe it's the tiny house or the random assortment of boats. It's only open Friday to Sunday so make sure you time your journey well.
This place is actually a kinda co-op run by the owner of the property where all the local farmers bring all the odds and ends from their shed and get a % of the sales. It has an amazing assortment of random goods both inside and out and I advise you to go when you know you want something, but don't yet know what it is!
So you pull in and immediately are greeted by an assortment of boats, boats of all types and models and I am not 100% sure that all of them are what I would call sea worthy, but if you ever wanted a catamaran at short notice here is the place to visit.
As you wander around the outside you can't help but notice this tiny tractor. I am not sure if it runs anymore but I am sure it is for sale! Also in the background, you can see the Pie and drink sign that originally tricked me, again its for sale
As I said everything is for sale, even the kitchen sink! Also a boat car in case you don't want to take the bridge to Phillip Island. Again i am assured that it runs and is for sale, not sure which type of licence you need :p
So here is the doughnuts van that tricked me, brig a lunch because there are no doughnuts, only a doughnut van ready to go!
Ever needed a mini house? well, your search ends here! Not sure what it was used for but look at how cute it is.
As we go back towards the entrance you can see the offerings don't stop! It's amazing the sheer variety of stuff here and its change every time I visit.
And then we go inside! Here are the smaller goods but some big ones still creepy in. It has no real rhyme or reason but each section is owned by a different farmer in the area
This place is truly worth a visit if you are in the area, its charming, fun, quirky, cheap and you never know when you will find that item you never knew you needed!

Is the Grand Prix held at Philips Island? I went there donkey years ago, the penguins were really cute
It is definitely worth a visit if you ever come back in a few more donkey years! Yep the grand prix is held at phillip Island which is wear this Freeway leads to, so if you visited Philip Island you most likely drove past it!
