Brisbane Riverside Markets

Brisbane


Chilled-out peeps gather at the northern end of the City Botanic Gardens to browse this weekly food and craft market. While it's not somewhere you'd go out of your way for, it's worth a browse if you're in the area; the selection of handmade and independent womenswear, accessories and jewellery are particular strengths. Other finds include fresh produce and gourmet edibles.
