Selling a drum kit in Warrnambool
Warrnambool sits on an exposed south-west coast where the whales come in close each winter, in the middle of a substantial dairy district. It is cold, windy and wet by Australian standards, and that shapes both what people own and how well it survives storage.
Dairy work runs on its own cycle and the university campus adds a smaller student turnover. Cold-water gear moves steadily because the surf here is used year-round by people properly equipped for it.
Driving is easy and the town is compact. Weather here changes fast, so for anything being loaded outdoors it is worth agreeing a fallback rather than assuming a dry half-hour.
On wetsuits and cold-water gear, check the seams and the zip rather than the neoprene. This coast is used year-round and it is the seams that go first, long before the suit looks worn.
Warrnambool, in Victoria, has around 36,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Melbourne, Geelong and Ballarat are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
