Addison Road Market

At Rozelle yesterday I ran into an old workmate from my uni days, when I used to moonlight as a barista at Badde Manors Café. He told me about this market, held at the Reverse Garbage site in Marrickville. It’s been running for a few years now so I can’t believe I haven’t gone sooner.

The stalls are a great mix of organic fruit & veg and food from small producers (think delicious cheeses, meat, bread and condiments); as well as clothes, bric-a-brac, books and flowers. Check it out if you haven’t already – I love Orange Grove Market in Lilyfield for this sort of thing but it’s become so busy on a Saturday it’s often impossible to park nearby or move through the crowds. Addison Road makes a nice alternative and definitely has a relaxed, lazy Sunday feel about it.
