 Alternative style market with organic produce |
217-223 Darling Street Balmain Sydney, NSW 2041 Australia +61 (0)2 9555 1791 |
Set in the shady grounds of St Andrews Church, the stalls mirror the eclectic and arty local inhabitants. There is a good selection for general gift buying, browsing and second hand goods. This is not the place for up and coming dress designers, but there is a wonderful selection of old cocktail dresses, shoes and hats. Also good jewelery, including antiques, interesting home wares and expensive organic fruit and vegetables is accessible. Watch out around Christmas because it gets busy and crowded. Wander up to the church when you are hungry and peruse the united nations of food stands inside. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sydney's best-known market |
2 Newcombe Street Paddington Sydney, NSW 2021 Australia +61 (0)2 9331 2646 |
This market, in the grounds of a church and school, began life in 1972 as a place for hippies to display their wares for sale. Since its humble beginning, it has grown to encompass over 250 stalls. A stroll around on a Saturday is as much as social event as a place to hunt for bargains and the unusual. You will find everything from antiques and jewellery, to ceramics and clothes. There are also some tempting food stalls. Be prepared for the crowds, the market gets very busy and parking is not easy in the surrounding streets. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A big garage sale |
Rozelle Public School, Darling Street Rozelle Sydney, NSW 2039 Australia +61 (0)2 9818 5373 |
This is one of Sydney's favourite second hand markets, with over 100 stalls set around the pretty grounds of historic Rozelle School. Garage sale stalls are a speciality and collectors regularly find treasures amongst other people's trash. Nobody will go hungry, either, with the wide selection of international food stalls for breakfast and lunch, set around a comfortable sit-down area. Of particular interest to music collectors are several stalls with LP record collections. Also some stalls with new goods. Good spot for backpackers to outfit their homes and themselves cheaply!
