AT THE SUNDAY MARKET

There are relatively few Trash-n-Treasure markets left in Melbourne these days and this is one of them, in the Coburg Drive In Movie Theatre (another of the very few such places left in Melbourne too!). Although mostly trash, once I picked up a wonderful Australian landscape painting here, at a very reasonable price.

AT THE MARKET

Preston Market is the second largest market in Melbourne selling fresh produce, clothing and homewares with a variety of restaurants and food stalls; it attracts over 80,000 visitors per week. The market opened in 1970, however, its long-term survival is in jeopardy as the new owners plan to redevelop the site, wishing to build high rise apartment blocks on the site.

PRAHRAN MARKET

Melbourne's oldest produce market, Prahran Market is open 5 days a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday) for quality produce and friendly service. Prahran Market is Australia's oldest continuously running food market, proudly being in operation since 1864.

Located in bustling South Yarra (163-185 Commercial Road South Yarra), Prahran Market is easy to get to by train, tram, bus, car (parking is easy), bike or foot! The traders here offer the widest choice to their customers including heirloom produce and hard to find specialties, cheeses, smallgoods, artisan products, certified organic fruit and vegetables, beef, pork, poultry and game. Not to mention fresh sustainable fish, seafood, shellfish and crustaceans.

As it's getting closer to Halloween, pumpkins are everywhere, even though they are expensive imports (remember we have Spring here in Melbourne).

AT THE QUEEN VIC

The Queen Victoria Market (also known colloquially as Vic Market or Queen Vic) is a major landmark in the central business district (CBD) of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Covering over seven hectares (17 acres), it is the largest open air market in the Southern Hemisphere. Constructed in stages from the 1860s and officially opened in 1878, the Queen Victoria Market is the last remaining major market in the CBD, and along with Prahran Market and South Melbourne Market, the last of the city's Victorian era markets still operating. It is listed on both the Victorian Heritage Register and the National Heritage List, and is one of Melbourne's major tourist sites, attracting approximately 10 million visitors annually.

ROSE ST MARKET, FITZROY

The Rose St Market in Fitzroy is an Artists' Market that offers a wide variety of art and craft, usually sold by the makers themselves. It is good to wander through, have a chat with artists and buy some delightful creations.
