Paddy's Market:
- Great for reasonably priced souvenirs with everything from hats with corks to hairy kangaroo balls bottle openers (well thats what it looked like anyway, we should've taken a picture)
- Has a grocery market section with decent prices on fresh fruit and veg
- Ice cream truck with chocolate dip soft serve...mmm
- Looks like a flea market/warehouse with loads of stalls
- Located in the CBD
- % of items likely manufactured in China/Taiwan = 70-80%
- Expect to walk out of there with 10-15 items for $50
- Great for fashionable one off items and fancy street food (e.g. roast lamb with chutney, spit roast pig, gelato)
- Looks really top end, with neatly decorated well spaced booths around an old church.
- Had a man playing live saxophone to house beats
- Located along Oxford St. which is a street with lots of boutique type stores
- % of items likely manufactured in China/Taiwan = 5% or less
- Expect to walk out of there with 1 item for $50 (if you're lucky)
Overall was a great day out for us. Managed to buy a few things, including a wallet (in Paddington Market) I've been looking for since our honeymoon in Brazil.
