BBQ

When the weather is nice, it is always a good idea to have a barbecue! You can prepare any food that you like, at all sorts of locations in and around the city. There are lots of public parks that offer free use of barbecues.

It is a good idea to prepare the food before you get to the park. You can make up any sort of marinade that you would like, let it soak a bit, then cook it up on the barbie!


Another option would be to stop at the store or market on the way to the park, some meat is already seasoned and ready for cooking.


Don't forget to bring a blanket to sit on. You can cook, eat, and even sun bake all in one day. It's nice to be able to relax with some friends and enjoy some good food!

Victoria market

The Victoria Market is a good place to get anything!! They have exotic, local, and imported Australian fruit and vegetables, gourmet foods, hardware, clothing, and souvenirs. There are almost 1,000 traders that sell their goods at the market.
The market is open five days a week: Tuesday and Thursday 6am-2pm, Friday 6am-6pm, Saturday 6am-3pm, and Sunday 9am-4pm. Sunday's are always a good day to go, especially the hour before it closes. All the vendors selling produce are slashing prices and you can get a lot of good stuff for little to nothing.
The market is only a short walk from the city, or a quick tram ride from outside the city, making it easily accessible to everyone.
