With Sydney Harbour as a backdrop, this outdoor market is a great place to learn about Aboriginal culture every couple of months. It’s a social enterprise set up to provide economic opportunities to indigenous peoples. You can paint boomerangs and make spears, and food stalls sell crocodile burgers, kangaroo sausages, and lemon-myrtle lemonade. The market started in Bare Island, about a 30-minute drive south of Sydney, which has been a free area for Aboriginal people since the 1880s. The market is still held there on occasion, and is definitely worth a visit. It’s gorgeous—surrounded by crystal-clear water—and a very local spot.
