Lately, Brisbane residents have been waking to seamless blue skies and sunshine on a Sunday morning. Is there anything more appealing to get you out of bed? First of all grab yourself some great friends for company and really make a gorgeous Sunday out of it.
Stop One: Bloomfield Street Markets, Cleveland. Make your way to Vulture Street before taking Old Cleveland Road at Coorparoo. After watching the suburbs flick by, you will find yourself on Finucane Road heading towards beautiful Cleveland. Every Sunday Cleveland holds their village market at Bloomfield Street. Here you will find a selection of fresh produce; including fruits, vegetables, dairy and meat. You can also enjoy the artisan creation of local designers. Kids are also covered with pony rides, a jumping castle and mini-bike rides.
