It cost $3 for parking on the grounds. It is large and bustling, with around 300 stalls, and is held once a month. Given that it is in a foodie's area, a large percentage of stalls were given to produce or upmarket food-oriented stalls selling spice mixes, chili preserves, or even venison. We were a bit disappointed in the craft stalls, as a lot of crafts looked like they were made of cheap imported material rather than the high-quality kind, which unfortunately seems to be disappearing from these country markets. I think they are a little close to Melbourne and people are buying large amount of cheap imports to keep their stalls stocked. There were a few gems among them, like the embroiderers guild stall, but few and far between. I wish they would bring back the unique things that are truly local in nature rather than everywhere else.
