Hey! I'm Sol and i'm from Wollongong. I would like to say that i get all the ponies from the secondhand stores here but i don't. they elude me. i've only been collecting since january this year and have a small collection, mostly due to the fact that i'm a poor uni student. it's great to meet collectors from australia and i hope that there are other collectors in Wollongong too.

You don't go to the Dapto fleamarket?
I have bought heaps of good toys from there including ponies.
You have to go! It's every Sunday at the Dapto dog racetrack.

Welcome to the Aussie Collectors!
I'm from rural Queensland - I don't get ANY flea markets, boot sales etc.........but have a great collection NOW! It takes a while - there's lots of ponies out there - AND heaps to learn!
Just be patient (and watchful) 0 you never know where a pony might be hiding (check out your cousins, old friends anybody at all!)

Hi Sol, As ponygal said, dapto markets are pretty awesome, I live in Newcastle, but have an Aunt & Uncle in Dapto that I occasionally drop down for the weekend to see them. Those markets are worth the trip though  |

Hi Sol28, Lovely to meet you I've never been lucky enough to find a MLP at a thrift shop either, however once my aunt found me the little white activity club pony at a market so there still hope. Hope to see you around the boards Hugs Skaifey
