The Akoonah Park Committee of Management conduct a very popular weekly Sunday market from their main buildings and surrounds at the highway end of the Reserve. Undercover or outside stalls are available providing a wide range of diverse products for sale. The market operates rain, hail or shine, although it is not open on Berwick Show weekend (last weekend in February). The profits from the running of this market is the major source of funding for maintenance and capital improvements for this park.
We sometimes visit this market and although we invariably buy something or other, we mainly go for the "window shopping" and the "people watching", both of which provide quite a bit of amusement.

I can't imagine how difficult it is to transport the fish tanks back and forth. Looks like a fun place though.

ReplyDeleteFrom 2000 onwards our family would drive past the market on the way to Baw Baw Shire. Sometimes it was active; other times not.

Hua Hiep Hot Bread - will keep them in mind!

From the ingredients involved: perhaps she is making a coleslaw. Her business is peeling and the equipment used to make it so.
People watching and window shopping are indeed amusing.
Hello Nick, I do love the markets so much. We have a small version of this market in our small town. We went on a Riverboat trip for two weeks going to all the towns and cities along the Rhine with several countries to visit. It was December and we visited the Christmas Markets. A grand trip and experience. Your photos brought the feeling of the market in such a lovely way. I too love to people watch as well as shop.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday and thank you for linking today.
