Every Sunday morning you can make your way to the Mt Gravatt Showgrounds to shop at a small relaxed market, full of fresh produce.
I found it had a fantastic selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. There were varieties I’d never seen before and you can find everything from staple fruit and vegetables through to more exotic varieties.
There were lots of families shopping for the week and a crowd of different nationalities. The market has a great multicultural feel and although it’s quite small it is split into two sections. The undercover section sells fresh produce and the outdoor section has bric a brac and second hand goods.
The prices were very reasonable and much lower than at supermarkets. I enjoyed the relaxed and local community atmosphere and being at a market that wasn’t too crowded.
Buskers add to the atmosphere and you can buy coffee, greek pastries, pancakes and other snacks. But for me, this market is all about an amazing variety of cheap and interesting fresh produce. You never know what exotic food you might find.
