MARKET GUIDE

Sydney Market guide
Markets are magical places for a myriad of reasons. For me they are a chance to find the unusual, the bargain, in visage nostalgia, be an observer of snippets of history, a place where you can actually touch the past... a museum of life. Markets are buzzing with life, stallholders give good banter and usually the food is fantastic or at least the coffee is!  Often I find I will remember a place in a warm light if I have been impressed by the local market. The following selection of markets are well worth a visit if your ever in the vicinity.

Rozelle Markets

                                Rozelle Market is my favourite Sydney market for all things Trash and Treasure. Whenever I am in Sydney it is a must. The greatest thing about it is, you actually get to go twice!!! It is open on Saturday and Sunday with different stalls on both days. A Haven for that hard to find object, collectables, fantastic secondhand clothing, plants, live music and a great array of food and beverage stalls.

WHEN : Every Saturday and Sunday 9 am-4pm 
WHERE: Rozelle public school 663 Darling street Rozelle
