Less searching.
More rummaging.
Search by place and filter by shop type. Open a profile for photos, descriptions and checked location details before you head out.
The weekly treasure
One discovery. A whole lot of inspiration.
A weekly editorial pick from approved community finds. Real objects, real prices and the kind of unexpected stories you’ll want to send to a mate.
First feature follows launch. No invented finds here.
02 / Local first. Australia next.
A small footprint.
A big sense of adventure.
This is the proposed first version—not a live directory yet. The region, scope and budget need approval before development or paid promotion begins.
Business & revenue plan
Free to explore. Transparent by design.
Begin with one Australian region and a useful collection of verified destinations. Grow through authentic bargain stories on TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook—not a national directory full of empty pins.
Initial revenue comes from clearly labelled sponsored shop listings and local promotions. Sponsor packages and rates will be agreed before sales; optional premium tools can wait until there’s a proven need.
Privacy from day one: collect only necessary submission details, keep contact information private, remove photo location metadata, and review every submission before publication.
