South Melbourne hosts the city’s oldest continuous
market, founded in 1867. Rows of neatly arranged
fruit, vegetables and flowers splash yellows, greens
and reds along the entire perimeter, where the whole
neighborhood gathers for Saturday feasts. Inside the
hall, shoppers hover over the mouth-watering displays
of delicatessens and specialty food shops. Further in,
a bazaar full of giftware, clothing, and kitchen
...More
utensils completes the scene. Take a break to walk the
wide and shady streets and stroll along the
Victorian-era heritage terrace houses. But return to
the market in time for some paella, simmering in three
large frypans on the footpath and served straight onto
your plate.
