It is a farmer's market, a craft market, and food stalls. It was teaming with people and many of the sheds and buildings are on the hertiage listing. Queen Victoria Market has been around for more than 130 years and it is the mother of all Melbourne markets.
At one of the food stalls, and of course where we chose to eat dinner, they served croc, roo, and emu too! By the time we got to the window, they were out of croc, so we had a roo burger with tastes of emu sausage and half a patty of ostrish.
Music entertainment included swing dancing lessons as well as live bands.
And in one stall, appropriately named Sugar, they were making hard candy. This large block of candy was warmed, thinned, rolled, cut, and then made into a lollipop. It was amazing to watch.
And for dessert, we went to this stall and had osyters. They were busy all night long, selling oysters on the half shell, fish and chips, and --what else? -- shirmp on the barbie. We are in Oz, afterall!
