Posted 2016-06-14 by Gary Brownfollow
For many years now I have been going to markets all over Australia and overseas. Some have been so big that it would not only take hours to go through and see everything; sometimes you have to come back the next day.

When overseas I have been to markets in Fiji, Vanuatu and Canada. While in Australia it has been places like Salamanca Market in Hobart, Broome, Melbourne and Adelaide. Having been to so many markets over the years it has led me to writing about a number of markets that I have been to in NSW and beyond.







Places like: Cronulla , Harbourside, Indian Fashion , Lakemba Community , Marina Mirage Farmers Market in Qld , The Creative Markets and the Wadambuk Makers Market in Victoria.

So this has led me to putting together a list of some of the other markets that I have been to over the years and other markets that I would like to visit over the coming years.

After going through the list that I have compiled, you might have some markets that you would like to add to this list. If so all you need to do is leave a comment at the end of the article of where, when, time, what's for sale and a web site if they have one.
