Auxiliaries, Craft Carts and Op-Shops

Found in Sunshine, Footscray, Bacchus Marsh and Williamstown, the Western Health Craft Carts, Auxiliaries and the Ladies Auxiliaries of Bacchus Marsh are shops with a uniquely local twist – handmade, bric-a-brac, gifts and more. The best part? All funds go directly to supporting their respective hospitals.
