"This is a worthwhile market to visit. The stalls cover a wide range of interests and tastes and join the permanent stores of the township into a festival type environment. I went on a sunny day, had a chat with Mr. Woods the beeswax polish man and picked up some morrocan cookies in the hall. Also eyed up some expertly formed macrocarpa outdoor furniture. Everything's good. Do it, you won't regret."
"Got there around 10:30am. Dog at front door reading sign that said: No Dogs. Indoors market, opens out into children's yard/play area. Market full of dark green veges, herbs, and seasonal stuff that recently came out of ground. Turkish filo wrapped treats caught attention briefly. One stall offering Pita, Pide and Italian breads and sourdoughs. Tasty as they looked, I was not hunting general baked goods, even if the offer was 3 ginger slice for $10. No, my hunt lay elsewhere..."
"Yeah, was quite good. Lots of stalls packed into a small space between mainstreet shops and leading down an alley. Cheeses, chocolates, various baked goods, ceramics, painted artworks, the whole local gourmet/international food thing going on. Don't remember seeing a lot of fresh produce, but could be because of seasonal considerations. That, or my memory is still dazed from sugar rush. No cheesecake available, but found a cherry and berry slice, olive, onion and rosemary pizza bread and a caramel cake to top it off."
"I'll be there this weekend, looking for good cake to stuff in my gob. I can taste the sugary treats already... mmmmmmmcake. And cheesecake, better be some cheesecake there!"
