Queen Victoria Market

The Queen Victoria Market has been in operation for over 130 years, and houses stalls with everything imaginable… clothing, jewelry, toys, produce and more.



The meat market has more kinds of sausage than I’ve ever seen, including kangaroo! The stall owners compete for shoppers’ attention much like circus barkers try to attract customers to the big top.



A separate building houses row upon row of produce stalls. Australian “pumpkins” are what we call squash in the US.



The QVM offers guided food tours that include cooking, tasting, history and - of course - shopping.

    I didn't know it was legal to eat kangaroo. Won't tell my kids 'bout that . . .
