Used to enjoy them when I lived in Alice Springs, "lawn sales" as they are known up there. Having such a transient population means a high turnover of stuff.
Occasionally I'll have a look, although these days it's generally just if I'm driving past, or out walking early on a Saturday.
Got a Paddy Pallin rain shell in the Alice years ago for $5. It's quite large so good to have as a spare for friends who tag along on a walk, or for outdoor events when it's a bit warmer and I just need some light protection.
But haven't found any "gems" for a long time now. Honestly, most of the sales these days I feel like suggesting they simply hire a skip instead.
