A traditional Market in Perth Australia

 In Australia, Perth the traditional market is known as the  Fremantle Markets.  I had visited here on June 11th, 2011 which was a saturday. I was staying with Sasi and his wife Renu Sharma and Dr, Sashi Sharma took me to this market .










Here in Perth this has at least 150 stalls selling fresh produce, street food, art, homewares, trinkets and more. Constructed in 1897, the markets are a beautiful mess of colour, smells and keepsakes under one huge roof. While there’s plenty of ephemera, you'll also find lasting treasures to take home, such as panoramic photographs of Perth's white sandy beaches, skin soothing emu oil and that hammock you've always wanted. Dash in to The Yard at closing time for heavily discounted fruit and vegetables, marketed loudly.
