Event organiser and resident Michael Clarke has been involved in the event since he moved into the village six years ago. 

“It’s usually just things people have got in their unit that they don’t want anymore,” he said.  

Mr Clarke has been growing flower cuttings in preparation for the event. He said the event’s timing was “ideal” coming up to Christmas.  

“I’ve got a stack of plants in the back yard, either they go or I do,” he joked. 

“In a place like this there is a reasonable amount (of stuff) circling because you’re always getting new tenants moving in and suddenly they have to downsize.”

Elphinwood Villas are in Newstead. The event runs all day.
