Antique Emporium

Four levels and 1,800 square metres of accumulated stuff on Formby Road — 40 dealers trading in coins, stamps, taxidermy, old tools, French wrought iron, antique furniture, and 15,000 secondhand books. The pirate ship on level two is exactly what it sounds like. Closed all day if Richmond makes the AFL Grand Final.

Leven Antique Centre

Antique dealer and fern nursery in Ulverstone — a combination that makes sense to nobody until you visit. Craig stocks Georgian glass, Old Sheffield Plate, 18th century porcelain and Australian pottery with the specificity of someone who knows exactly what he's looking at. The fern oasis out the back grows Tasmanian natives and hardy exotics under shade cloth. AAADA member. Open 10am–5pm
