First stop this week is the gigantic Toowoomba Swap Meet, an annual 3-day event attracting thousands of collectors from across Australia.
At the Swap Meet, Lucas and Adam meet James, the self-proclaimed custodian of old bicycles. James invites the boys to see his house.
James has had his house raised ten feet to create a huge workshop area underneath, which is full of bikes and bike parts. In the house itself, bikes fill every room, hanging from the ceiling and in a purpose built attic.
Next stop is Eddie and Thelma, an elderly couple who keep a huge collection of Australiana and machinery on a property outside town. Eddie's pride and joy is a 1923 Fiat racing car, which he says is worth $1 million.
Then it's off to the Northern New South Wales town of Kyogle, to meet Stewart, who runs a movie museum in the town's cinema. Stewart takes Lucas and Adam to see his shed outside town, where he keeps a huge amount of old and rare projection equipment as well as old cars and other collectables.
