#19 - Kirribilli Markets

29/04/08 | by Dylan Behan [mail] | Categories: shopping

Those North Shore people really have no idea of the value of anything, do they? At first look, this monthly markets held on the grounds of the Milsons Point bowling green is just another market, with food stalls, bric-a-brac and overpriced crafts. But it's the temp store holders, mostly rich North Shore-irans emptying out their garages and recent junk bought overseas, is the main reason to get out bed and stand around in the freezing wind next to the Harbour before 7am Saturday morning.

Imported Jeans? $10.
Leather shoes from Japan. $10.
Original Mona Lisa Painting. $10.

This is bargain city if you get here early enough, and holy fuck, do i mean early. You have to be here before 7am, or you miss out.

Kiribilli Markets is on the fourth Saturday of the month generally, with the odd extra one added or taken away. Check the website for details.
