To tell you the truth, I always love a good market, but I struggled to find what the attraction was, sadly, with this one.
Upon arrival, we waited in a car line up to enter the markets of 45 minutes.. on arrival to the parking area, we got hit with a $9.00 parking fee. Walking up to the first part of the market, there was a variety of shops, but as we walked around the entire venue, we found so many stalls selling the same stuff. There was really nothing we hasnt seen anywhere else that excited us. There were hundreds of people there, prams, and dogs, and no one knew which way to walk in any given direction. The food stalls were all over the shop, and by the time you walked from one end to the other, we were at the point of just grabbing something that was next, then when we did - people barged in knowing we had been waiting for a while, so we walked away hungry. The shops i saw most of, which were in all different stalls, were magnesium pain relief, Bali and boho clothes stores, dog clothes stores, and jewellery stores soaps, the usual ... for us, I think we will stick to country markets where there is more room to walk, more to see with typical locals showing different stalls, that are a bit more personal and made by hand and their creation and ideas... I guess it is easy for sellers now to buy things overseas and sell it for a profit. Some of the prices I've seen on this day made me laugh and question why. Overall, the grounds and facilities were kept clean. The live music with a young country singing girl was inspiring, and I wish people hadn't barged in front of us at the German sausage place as they looked delicious! We wouldn't make the effort to come up again. Too many people and the stalls were too expensive for a market..if you are reading this, im sure you can make up your own mind too...
