We visited yet another of the infrequently-opened thrift shops today. This time it was St Andrew's Presbyterian Church in the heart of Victoria. The thrift shop is open just two days a month for 2 hours each day, and is closed for the summer.
It is also one of the most difficult to locate and find access. The church itself on Douglas Street is easy enough, but the entrance is around the corner on Courtney. Getting to the front entrance, you will find a locked door even though the signs are out on the street and in front of the church.

When you get to the thrift shop entrance, you'll find a locked door which gives you the impression they forgot to open, or closed early. The answer, press the buzzer button on the left of the door and the door will be buzzed unlocked. Go in and go down the stairs to your left.

The shop is located in the basement and is rather small, with one room with housewares and collectibles, and another with mainly clothes and more housewares. Friendly but elderly volunteers are happy to assist.
