Sydney Markets, Wholesale market complex in Flemington, Australia
Sydney Markets is a large wholesale and retail complex in Flemington, a western suburb of Sydney, where fresh produce, flowers, seafood, and general goods are sold daily. The site is divided into several distinct sections, each focused on a different type of goods.
The market began in Haymarket, in the heart of Sydney, where it served the city for many decades. Growing demand led to a move to Flemington in 1975, giving traders far more space to operate.
Sydney Markets bring together traders and buyers from many different communities, and that mix shows in what is on offer each day. Walking through the aisles, you hear many languages and see goods from around the world side by side.
Different sections of the market keep different hours, so it is worth checking which area you want to visit before you go. Coming early in the morning generally gives you access to the widest choice of goods.
The flower section is considered the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. It supplies florists and traders well beyond the Sydney region, making it a key hub for the national flower trade.
