Rusty's Markets Cairns, Australia

Rusty's Markets If you really want to have the true Far North Queensland local's lifestyle experience, you need to take a visit to Rusty's Market. Located in the centre of Cairns on Grafton Street, the market has been a fixture on the Cairns landscape for generations.

Every Friday and Saturday, locals come to the markets to buy their fresh fruit and vegetables, coffee, breads, flowers, cookies, and other arts and crafts. Most of the produce is grown on the Atherton Tableland and is transported down the mountain to the city. Sunday also has the range of Fruit & Vege, but also many come to sell their bric-a-brac, many treasures can be found.

There is a huge array of locally grown produce and exotic fruits, and the prices as you would expect are very reasonable as most come direct from the growers.

The market has recently moved into it's new home attached to Gilligan's Backpackers, completely undercover, with a new setup and lighting.

It's cheap, fresh, healthy and full of variety. And the best feature is the friendly atmosphere. People from all walks of life use the markets.
