Friday through to Sunday these markets are a hive of activity. Fresh fruit and vegetables are plentiful, the choices are endless, so don’t forget to take a big bag.

Kakulas Sister
This is a place that any food lover would get excited about. From the moment you step inside its doors the atmosphere is unique.
