There are now over 200 independently owned and operated record stores throughout Australia, with 194 of them currently registered as participants in the annual, global sensation Record Store Day; a special event dedicated to bricks and mortar record stores with limited releases and long awaited reissues distributed exclusively to indie record shops.

The bricks and mortar record store is beloved for many reasons; the sense of anticipation when you walk through the door, the meditative process of flipping past countless album covers only to discover a hidden gem or white whale, making new discoveries and diving into the rabbit hole of a new found band or artist, the list goes on. With new generations now enjoying the benefits of the greatest format around, new and established record stores alike are filling up once again. That said, there is always a shop tucked away somewhere that you’ve never been to, perhaps never heard of, with crates full of LP’s and singles waiting to be taken to their new homes. For that reason, Rhubarb Records have been working tirelessly, doing the legwork for you. We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of record stores; new and old, great and small, for you to pour over.

After reaching out to over 200 record shops across the country, here it is. Rhubarb Records are proud to bring you our Australian record store directory...Dig in.









If we've somehow missed your store or you know of one that we have missed please feel free to contact us via email and we will update this list. We hope this directory will help you discover new Australian Indie Record Stores!
