Melbourne's hundreds of markets are an important part of the mix the help
define Melbourne's unique character. One any weekend you can find
Melburnians and visitors alike trawling their way through one of the myriad
of markets and soaking up the atmosphere.
Many of the inner suburbs have their own market which operates on
selected days of the week, and these markets help define and reflect the
nature of their local community Reflecting their origins as public markets
where growers producers and other vendors could bring their goods to market
they only operate on certain days of the week - otherwise there would be no
time to grow or make the goods. Prahran
Market has great delicatessens reflecting the affluence of nearby South
Yarra and Toorak. The fish at the Footscray Market is plentiful and cheap as
one would expect with a large Vietnamese population. The
Preston Market has a strong
Mediterranean influence. South Melbourne
Market offers produce on a Sunday, while at the Gleadell Street Market
in Richmond you can still find produce grown in local back gardens and a
homely European flavour. Dandenong Market
is a one stop shopping with a lively atmosphere.
Community markets like those mentioned above were of course the original
farmers' markets and you will still find many stalls at these markets where
the stallholder has grown or produced some or all other goods themselves. In
recent years there has been a resurgence in farmers' markets with a
particular emphasis on organic products and sustainable farming practices.
For a comprehensive listing of these go to
Farmers' Markets in Victoria.
Melbourne has a small number of markets where artists and skilled
tradespeople have banded together to create an outlet that bypasses hefty
gallery or retail commissions. One such Market is the
Rose Street Artists' Market. You can
also find markets specialising in design at
Design in Melbourne.
Melbourne and Victoria have a large number of markets selling art and
crafts. Some markets have conditions specifying that all goods should be
hand made or home made or that the stallholder must have been directly
involved with the manufacture of the goods, etc. Some prominent art
and craft markets of this type are the
St Kilda Esplanade Market and
the Arts Centre Sunday Market. Of
course such conditions often don't preclude the sort of semi mass produced
hand-made items that are the same month after month, and, after all, that
may be what you are after. You will find a large number of craft markets
amongst the comprehensive listing of Melbourne markets
below.
In any one week there are large numbers of markets featuring trash &
treasure, bric-a-brac, pre-loved goods, olde wares, just plain junk and that
thing you have been chasing for years. Some examples of large markets in
Melbourne selling all of the above plus a fair bit more include Pipeworks
Market, Laverton Rubble & Riches Market, and Caribbean Gardens, while in
country Victoria such large markets include the Geelong Mill Markets and the
Bendigo Showgrounds Market.
Many of the larger markets are easily accessible by public transport and
an all day ticket to ride the complete system in Melbourne on a Saturday and
Sunday is incredibly cheap (see money
saving tips). You can even travel to and from Bittern Market on the
Mornington Peninsula for a total of $2.90 (see a
description of the trip).
Queen Victoria, South Melbourne, Prahran, Preston, Footscray and St Albans
markets are close to either train or tram. Anything in the inner suburbs is
likely to be close to a train or tram. In the outer suburbs buses can often
be few and far between so choosing a market close to a railway station is
safest. Look out for this situated in railway station carparks such as the
Gully Market, Blackburn, Bentleigh etc.
Dogs are rarely if ever allowed at indoor markets and usually cannot be
taken to a market held at a racecourse. Dogs on a leash are usually allowed
if the market is in a public park or similar open public space. If in doubt
check with the organisers.
Of course you don't have to a market with the intention of buying
something. You can just go along to soak up the atmosphere. Twilight markets
usually have an atmosphere of their own and you can find a comprehensive
listing at Twilight Markets in
Melbourne. Then for others aren't simply a matter of making money by
trading - they are a way of life and serve an important function in the
cycle of life in Melbourne. For an example see our
Melbourne Newsletter No.183
of 3rd August 2006.
