No I don’t think so, but I’m sure you get the message.

Established in 1972, the market is fast approaching its 50th anniversary, so they must be getting something right.

The market stretches from Salamanca Place right up to Davey Street. There are buskers and entertainers. Most of the market stalls are owned by the person who made or grew the goods, so your questions will be answered and you’ll be appreciated.

And if there’s not a food stall to your liking, wander in to the courtyard behind the old buildings where you’ll find a variety of restaurants.

You could always throw a line off the dock and catch your own.
