A Day at the Market

Where to start and which way to go...the market pathways wind around between trees and follow lanes. Sights, sounds and smells are all catered for, the aroma of foods and perfumes, entertainers, bands and the colourful stall after stall beckoning down the path.

A local band (a different one each market) provide entertainment as you sit under the dappled shade of the leopard trees enjoying the offerings from one of the many food stalls.

Buskers perform, conjuring up little unexpected delights that break your concentration from all that’s on show.

You can make it restful or hectic, you can rush or dawdle, come early or late, you can stay for lunch, you can take in the whole village with a walk around or you can sit under a tree but a day at the market will be a Sunday you’ll remember.

Local fire fighters collected the parking fees at the February market in 2009 to assist those who lost so much in the Victorian bushfires. They collect every year to help communities all over Australia. The Lions Club collected the parking fees in January 2011 to assist those who were flood effected in Queensland.
Whenever we can help the concept of being a community market is put into practice.
Every market a community group are a market beneficiary and they receive funds to assist their projects and activities. Members of these groups will greet you as they assist collecting the parking fee at the gate at each market.
