Tasmania Markets: Mark It Down as A Must Do

Charli at Salamanca Market

All over Tasmania, markets offer a feast for the senses and a truly unique insight into the creative talents of the Tasmanian people.

It's been a great way for us to get amongst the proud locals showcasing their cottage industries as well as the overall
appeal of the state.

Tasmania Capital, Hobart

Tasmania, capital of the market experience and exponent of healthy food, has the perfect situation for the Tasmanian people to peddle their wares. Not only can you buy fresh seasonal produce - the mixture of goods extends to flowers, chocolates, handbags, clothing... Actually it's impossible to list the whole variety of stuff here, just as the list of state-wide events in market shopping is a long one.

With a crowd of happy patrons looking for things to buy (nothing like a holiday to loosen the purse strings), the Salamanca market in Hobart provides a weekly opportunity for the Tasmanian people to attract a receptive customer or two. This is both a resourceful and industrious idea for the stall holder and a fabulous attraction for the Tasmanian tourist. The market is a day out in itself, with plenty of entertainment, a great Hobart waterfront location and a good selection of healthy food (and some not so healthy, but really delicious!). Of course there are lots of other things to do within walking distance because in Tasmania, markets are integrated as a regional attraction.

Flowers for the Tasmanian people

Original and new Tasmanian people have gravitated to all corners of the Apple Isle for a sea-change and to escape ordinary 9 to 5 jobs. Tasmania offers the chance to develop artistic passions, having the inspirational setting and an outlet to make that passion viable. This allows every community to have their own special day to join forces and draw a crowd to the local hall or oval. Advertising runs to posters stuck to power poles on the roadside, but basically there is recurring calendar whereby you can spend every weekend at the Tasmania markets somewhere nearby.

Even without venturing too far from a base such as
Hobart (Tasmania capital), there could be a lot worse way to spend a day, than at the Tasmania markets.
