Surrounded by Elizabeth Bay, Rushcutters Bay and Potts Point, Kings Cross itself is vibrant and full of cafes, art-deco buildings and bars with numerous people streaming in from all corners of the globe daily to get a taste of this unique suburb.
However, if you're near Kings Cross on a Sunday – Make sure you stop by the
Kings Cross Flower Markets , hosted by
Organic Food Markets for your fix of fresh organic produce. It's a lovely way to start your Sunday, surrounded with the scent of fresh-cut flowers.
The markets are located around the picturesque El Alamein Fountain in Fitzroy Gardens, on Macleay Street,
every Sunday, from 9:30 am till 2:30 pm.
The El Alamein Fountain – A refreshing meeting point and market location:
Robert Woodward designed the fountain, which opened in 1961, affectionately knows to some as the Dandelion. If there is a slight breeze the wind changes the look of the fountain, and the spray creates rainbows when hit with sunlight.
What you'll find:
Flowers, plants and herbs: Pick up a fresh-cut bunch of flowers like a Cala Lily, Roses, Poppies, Gerberas, or a bunch of Australian natives. If you're after more exotic plants you'll find Bonsai house plants, succulents, potted fruit trees, seedlings, climbers or a quirky cactus or two. Pots are also available to buy for your purchases.
Fashion: Bags, jewellery, clothes, sunglasses
Vintage Art: Antiques, clocks, artwork, bric a brac treasures of all kinds - Perfect for those last minute gifts.
Garden statues and ornaments: Brighten up your garden or balcony with decorative pots, hangings and decorations for the garden.
Designer Homewares: Vases, pots, plates, fruit baskets, ceramics.
Food:
If you get peckish while wandering the stalls, you will be surrounded by plenty of food options just a few steps away in any direction. Grab yourself a passionfruit Portuguese custard tart or for something a little more substantial like a burger or gozleme.
While you're there:
You may want to take photos of the bustling market, fountain and flowers or enjoy a walk around with a coffee. It's the perfect setting for a lovely day out on your own, or with friends and family.
Getting there:
Kings Cross Flower Markets are only a five-minute walk from Kings Cross Train Station – Trains leave Central station every 10 minutes and the trip takes 7 minutes.
Alternatively, you can get the 461 bus from Central station for about $3.00 and you'll be there in 13 minutes.
