Each week we post a gem from Gumtree – the online buy, sell, swap site – that is odd, unusual or just plain different. Most items are/were for sale in South-West Victoria or not far beyond.

This week is one that I posted on Facebook some time ago, but it is worth retrieving for Bluestone Magazine, as it remains one of the most original:

[box] Tub of clean crisp country air, collected from my farm. You can breath easy today with this limited item !! Can post, but as I am out in the country it may take a couple of days to ride horse into town. For those city folk wanting an escape to the country but don’t have time. Bring the country to you with this very limited offer. Only 1000 available at this stage. $9 a tub.[/box]

[dropcap style=”font-size: 60px; color: #DC943C;”] B [/dropcap]efore starting Bluestone Magazine, we tested out a few ideas on good old Facebook, just to see what people liked to read. One the most popular was a regular posting of odd, unusual or just plain different ads on Gumtree (the online buy/sell/swap site) from around South-West Victoria, or close by.

So it is only fitting Gumtree gems has found a place in our new venture.
