Hello there, did you have a lovely weekend? Mine was pretty special, as the Mr and I celebrated our six-year anniversary with a three and a half hour, seven-course vegan degustation lunch at Loam Restaurant! Set in the countryside down a dirt track on the Bellarine Peninsula, Loam is known for it's fresh, seasonal and rustic food, and it didn't dissapoint. If you're looking for a special occassion dining experience, then do check it out (although make sure to book ahead)! But on to the topic of today's post - the Mill Markets. I'm sure many Melbourne readers will already be aware of the Mill Markets, but for any out-of-towners, the Mill Markets are big sheds/buildings housing numerous antiques and collectables stalls. Each stallholder stocks and organises their own stall, and you can find all manner of items, from vintage clothing to homewares, records and furniture. The Mill Markets are a great way to while away a few hours, and I always make sure to pop in if there happens to be one near where we're going. These photos were taken at the Geelong Waterfront location, prior to our marathon lunch!
I've never had any major 'finds' in a Mill Market, but the potential is there. Like the Camberwell Market, I'm sure I will one day come across someone selling off an entire vintage Scandinavian kitchenwares collection. It'll happen...
Aside from Geelong Waterfront, the Mill Markets are located at South Geelong, Newcomb, Daylesford, Ballarat and Warrnambool. Check the Mill Markets website for location details and opening hours. Happy hunting!
