Tribute

Bert Glenister

Great people have shaped the South Melbourne Market, perhaps none more so than Bert Glenister. Whether he was selling bags or catching intruders, delivering mail or selling books, Bert has been a part of the fabric of the Market for nearly thirty years. He is now taking some well deserved time out from the Market, but he continues to be welcomed warmly by stallholders and locals alike when he drops by to say hi and join his friends for a cup of tea. As Bert decides to hang up his boots, we pay tribute to this generous and lovable character. Click here to read more.

Welcome

New Stall – Airwaves

South Melbourne Market is now home to a new surf shop, Airwaves. Airwaves is run by husband and wife team Campbell and Tricia who made it big overseas and have brought their successful label home to Melbourne. Airwaves stocks a great range of resort and surf clothing for men, women and children plus surf boards, paddle boards and surfing accessories. Check out their wares at shop 208, opposite Emerald Hill Florist.

Focus On

Cumquats

Now is the time for some exotic spring pickin’s. Mangos, tamarillos, papaya, feijoa and Cumquats. Cumquats, those exquisite little plants that produce tiny orange fruit, are also delicious to eat. The beauty of the Cumquat is more than skin deep. The name Cumquat comes from the Cantonese for "golden orange". These little orange gems are in season now until January. Eaten raw, preserved, candied, pickled, made into marmalade, or our favourite way, dipped in melted chocolate and served with coffee.
