They say that you shouldn’t go shopping for food when you are hungry. In the case of the Fremantle Markets, this should be don’t go shopping there if you are even a tad peckish. And I was doing so well too.

Wondering what to do this Sunday morning? How about a visit to Canning Vale Markets? Held at Market City every Sunday from 7am to 1pm, this swap meet is a great place to pick up a bargain or two.

It’s $1.10 per adult to get in (55c for kids and concession card holders), and a crossing attendant even guides you across a narrow road to the warehouse area where the market takes place. The casual atmosphere of Canning Vale Markets invites curious individuals and families alike, and I’m impressed at how much can actually be packed into what appears to be a compact space.

It is one of life’s undeniable truths that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

While some may turn their nose up at the thought of anything second-hand, for most, the lure of a bargain or the chance to find something of value that someone is selling for a song sees thousands of people hit Perth markets each weekend.

Second-hand markets in Perth come in all shapes and sizes and carry a host of different names – swap meets, swap marts, swap markets, car boot sales, garage sales, flea markets etc, but they are all about people meeting up for the purpose of buying and selling weird and wonderful “stuff”.

Located in Victoria Quay in the centre of Fremantle Port is Western Australia’s only waterfront market, the vibrant E Shed Markets. With a diverse selection of shops and stalls, entertainment and harbour backdrop, E Shed Markets has something for everyone, making it a nice, family friendly place to drop by on the weekend.

It’s a scorching Perth summer afternoon when I step into the historic cargo store that has been a feature of Victoria Quay for a century to escape the heat… and into the eclectic house of shops and stalls that is now the E Shed Markets.
