Aussies are big on local growers and fresh produce. Dotted throughout even the big cities are fresh farmers markets. The Beaconsfield market, the one closest to us in Fremantle, Western Australia, is about five blocks away in a big field attached to a school. It appears every Sunday.
One stall sold coconut milk ice cream, another all manner of custom leather workings, all kinds of fruit and vegetables, jerky, honey, crafts, and a long row of multinational ready-to-eat hot food. There is always a busker playing his choice of instruments. [A busker is a person who entertains in a public place for donations.] The featured performer changes most ever week.

We have a big one here in CR that opens each Friday and Saturday. Your market however looks a lot more fun where ours looks like a bunch of farmers selling stuff off the back of a truck.
ReplyDeleteThe market Vic & Shirley visited is very inviting, indeed, like a park to go spend a few hours in and luxuriate.
DeleteWe have started to go every Sunday. This past one was bigger with more stalls. Food wise, this included Jamaican, Japanese, Moroccan, and Samoan. Shirley got one of her favorites from the Samoan one - an enchilada.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I'm thinking I need to get over there so I can go with you next time!
DeleteCome on! I'd love that!! Shirley just woke up and said it wasn't the Samoan food stall she got her treat from. It was the Salvadorian one.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think enchilada sounded Samoan!
