The pretty village of Bundeena on the Cronulla Coast surrounded by the Royal National Park in Southern Sydney, is the location of
Bundeena Markets. There are many weekend markets in and around Sydney, but Bundeena must surely be amongst the most picturesque. This area of secluded bays, beaches, and bushland is home to many artisans whose unique products showcase their love of nature and their surroundings.
You can pick up some beautiful hand made ceramics and jewellery. Tea sets, vases, coffee cups, home made soaps and gorgeous hand crafted plates.
Beautiful hand crafted dishes
It never ceases to amaze me how creative these artists can be.
For the person who has everything
The markets also showcase photography, folk art, plants, clothes and books. I must admit I am a sucker for home made pickles and preserves, mustards and infused cooking oils. Bundeena Markets is abundant with home made pantry items.
Home made olive oils
And if you fancy a bite there are plenty of fresh food stalls. There's fresh baked bread, locally made cheeses, turkish gozlemes as well as hot roasted nuts.
