Crave Trail
Ipswich
CRAVE is a cleverly conceived acronym for Ipswich's own "Creative, Retro, Antiques, Vintage and Eclectic" trail. 20 shops are part of this inspirational trail - all of which stock a colorful array of treasures to be purchased, adored and admired.
Beginning in the historic Top of Town shopping precinct of Ipswich, visitors are guaranteed to find something special. Here you'll also find Ipswich's oldest shop - CJ Vogler & Son, packed with quirky collectables. Venturing further down Brisbane Street, housed within heritage-listed buildings are Upcycled Treasure, Limestone Emporium, and The Vintage Advantage.
Retro fashions and quality antiques can be found at Poison Arrow Retro, Shabbylicious, Ipswich Antique Centre, Estelles Antiques, Booval Secondhand, and Marburg's Scotland Yard.
To finish the CRAVE trail, crafters and quilters will be keen to pay a visit to ART Time, The Art & Craft Cottage, Kaela's Patch, Country Quilt Co and Queen B's Collective to discover plenty of supplies and materials to last until next time.
In a nutshell - Follow this creative, retro, antique, vintage and eclectic trail through the Ipswich region in order to find and make memories to treasure forever.
Nice to know - Ipswich CBD has cheap metered street parking, and Ipswich Mall is a central parking facility to access the many locations along the CRAVE Trail.
