    Is this aimed at tradies, or is it DIY'er friendly as well?
    Would an oridinary folk be overwhelmed if turned up there?

    • ronnknee on 11/04/2026 - 19:19

      DIY friendly. No need for Power Pass or ABN. People have the option of bringing kids, so it's family-friendly.

        Mate, you're excluding those who haven't been on here for more than five years. Not seen a woodworm in yonks.

      Sorry friendo, Branded teams only, you will have to choose which power ranger you wish to be, makita blue, dewalt yellow, milwaukee red or ryobi green.

      With the weather turning colder these days, it might be Ozbargain orange Macpac, with blunt umbrellas, with an array of Olight torches on a carabiner, and paying with which ever 20x reward points gift cards on offer that week

    Hehe is the free food q sausage sizzle?

    • MilkDrinker on 11/04/2026 - 20:07
      +5

      Last time I went there there were 3-4 different food trucks open all day, pizza, fish and chips, hot dogs and some other random thing. I believe you also got 2 alcoholic drink coupons if you stayed till happy hour at 5-6.

      • t25 on 11/04/2026 - 21:02

        That's decent!

      • ATTS on 12/04/2026 - 06:37

        Oh nice ! And all free?

        Curious how long is the lines to get the food btw

        Haha coupons!

        • MilkDrinker on 12/04/2026 - 10:29

          You got a lanyard with the alcohol coupons to redeem and they wanted them back at the door if you left before the event started, it WAS free when i went last time.
          The lines were reasonable(0-15 people a line) for free.

  • JDNE on 11/04/2026 - 19:43

    What have the previous years been like?
    Generally any freebies?

    • zerokas on 11/04/2026 - 21:23

      A lot of the stalls have freebies. Mostly promo t-shirts, hats etc. Free food vouchers, free water bottles, free drinks in the arvo, free coffee.

      Good deals on lots of battery tools. I always stock up on Makita.

    Only going if there's a sausage sizzle.

    • runamuck on 11/04/2026 - 21:46

      Yeah. It will be a sausage fest.

      • ATTS on 12/04/2026 - 06:39

        Haha there must be at least one female tradie in attendance!

    • ronnknee on 11/04/2026 - 22:16
      +1

      They usually have hot food like burgers, chicken schnitzel, battered fish etc. and soft drinks which I think is better than a sausage sizzle.

      • asspray on 12/04/2026 - 02:14

        free?

          Feels like people are asking too much already. They can't be picky if it's free. Otherwise they should just eat at home or buy their own lunch lol.

          • ATTS on 12/04/2026 - 15:30

            @ronnknee: True lol

          • ATTS on 20/04/2026 - 08:47

            @ronnknee: Was there alot of ozbargainere the last time you went btw?

  • BargainBilby on 11/04/2026 - 22:32

    Really decent free food, I bring the kids after school.

  • silverhawks on 12/04/2026 - 00:23

    But why is it on a thurs. Tradies work on weekdays.

    • Franc-T on 12/04/2026 - 00:45

      where does it say the free food is only for power pass

    • whitelie on 15/05/2026 - 07:03

      Previous years, you had to have an ABN/Powerpass to register for the event. Think they have changed it now
      Was 3-4 food trucks, coffee van, drinks etc when I've been in Perth.

  • chrisie on 12/04/2026 - 08:46

    Did anyone go last year etc and confirm whether there was any good deals?

    • kosh52 on 12/04/2026 - 11:15

    Lot of homeless/housing commission people around the moonee ponds/melbun Showgrounds area. This will be a good event for them to fill there tummys with a hot meal for free

  • hippyhippy on 12/04/2026 - 12:37

    Besides free food.. are there any deals?

  • ATTS on 12/04/2026 - 13:18

    • ronnknee on 12/04/2026 - 13:47

      Yea, can go anytime. Not sure about capacity issues, surely that would be handled by registrations.

      • ATTS on 12/04/2026 - 15:29

        Nice thanks

  • alumar57 on 12/04/2026 - 17:04

    Can’t see registration link for Melbourne? Is registration mandatory?

    • anastasiastarz on 13/04/2026 - 15:15

      Thinking registrations haven't open yet?
      Yes you have to register to get the QR code to scan to prt a ticket/badge upon arrival

  • eeeee on 12/04/2026 - 20:25

      Puts in you the draw to win a $500 voucher

  • eterno on 30/04/2026 - 10:46

    Can anyone that is going early drop some highlights of the special deals that they have on bigger kits (and if there any special redemptions as well). I know from last year Dewalt had some awesome deals for larger kits - so just seeing if its worth going later

    • OzzyBrak on 30/04/2026 - 12:37

      The Dewalt value pallet and tool auction starts at 2:30 according to the schedule, might be worth going for that if you're looking for deals.

  • eeeee on 07/05/2026 - 12:49

    Whoever is there, what food are they serving? Sausage or standard lobster?

    • ronnknee on 07/05/2026 - 13:44

      Reporting live:

      Chicken burger, beef burger, vegetarian burger, fish and chips, pulled pork tacis, and vegetarian nachos.

      Hot chips, meat pie, vegetable pie, and sausage roll.

      One item from each list above.

      • eeeee on 07/05/2026 - 13:53

        Nice work mate

  • faricity on 14/05/2026 - 21:14

    Just went to the Adelaide one as a non tradie. I think for a non- tradie maybe think if you need drill bits, impact bits or blades before going. If you need power tools, yea there's some decent sales on everything. As a non-trade i think an ozito or ryobi stand would have been off the charts but sadly not there.

    See below if you think its worth it
    -Super busy between 5-7pm,
    -I would say about $50 of free food per person.
    - Free parking depending on venue?
    - spend $x get a gift card cashback at checkout which is awesome value with the deals below.
    -10-50% or more off 18v kits, drill bits, impact kits, blades, bolts screws
    -A lot of people were buying tool boxes on wheels like" DeWalt "tough system" where you get free drawers with it
    -kids get a free bunnings trade high vis vest and workshop apron

    • BellaWii on 15/05/2026 - 06:56

      An Ozito stand with 10-50% off would have made it more interesting

      • faricity on 15/05/2026 - 15:23

        well the big discounts were mainly on the drill and impact bit sets. My maths is terrible if we are talking tools it was the $500-5000+ with the bigger discounts and gift card deals. In saying that i think Adelaide dates might only line up with the gift card offers from the retail side of bunnings.

  • kosh52 on 17/05/2026 - 13:58

    I registered for melbun event and for the question ‘how did you hear about this event?’ I put down ‘other - OzBargain’
