Market By The River

It's hard to pass up an outdoor market once the season has turned to Spring, so Saturday saw me taking my first trip to Market By The River. This monthly market takes place on the first Saturday of each month in Halvorsen Park, Ermington. It sits in the middle of a riverfront development that’s part of the changing face of this suburb. Dominated by a playground, the park itself is a fairly austere, treeless affair with brown grass. The market stalls thus bring some colour and interest to the site. What you will find is a decent collection of high quality food and drink stalls, some fresh produce, and a number of artisan and handmade stalls, with only a few commercial ring-ins like Tupperware.
