You never know what you'll find there and with a bit of luck and digging you might uncover that hidden vintage gem. Some stall owners are happy to haggle so you might be able to save a few dollars. It's easy to spend the whole morning wandering through the markets in time for lunch at one of the many cafés and restaurants on Burke Road. The Camberwell Sunday Market raises funds for a wide range of charities raising over $9m for the community.
Make sure you take along a hat or a parasol because in Summer the sun can be quite fierce and you may go searching for the shady café before not too long!

A fascinating market busy with colour and people! I am amazed at all the colourful beach umbrellas used for the stalls! And I imagine that the dappled shade of the cafe is most welcome on a hot day!
ReplyDeletegreat sequence and great colours and patterns in this busy place - online shopping is no comparison...
ReplyDeleteAs well as a surprise bargain there are also lots of 'characters' to be seen also. Super sequence Nick.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there were treasures to be found among the shadows!

ReplyDeleteI like the Camberwell Market Nick. We pop over their a couple of times a year. It's a great place to have a it of a rummage, take a few photos and then settle down at one of the many cafe's for a bit to eat.
