Weekends in the Rocks are busy, with many people attending the outdoor market. In recognition of Sydney's tendency to periodic downpours, most stalls are covered with a removable canvas roofing system. It seems to work well enough at keeping the sun off, but fortunately we didn't test its waterproofing ability.
Some of the items for sale here were unique crafts that we have not seen in other markets. (My wife is a market stall addict.) One stall holder was selling very cleverly designed wooden puzzles and had the patience of a saint when a young child tried to force the equivalent in puzzles to the round peg in a square hole. (The saga ended happily. Dad bought the puzzle!)
My wife found some upside down hanging pots, which are kind of weird, but they certainly seemed to work judging from those on display. You have to wonder, though, why would you want to grow plants upside down?
Another stall sold homemade cakes and pies that were truly delicious. Hope their kitchen was up to the standard required for healthy eating! (We suffered no ill affects other than a little tightening of the waistline!)
The market was a great place to spend two or three hours and pick up some unusual craft items. For those wanting aboriginal souvenirs, there were a number of stalls with an aboriginal theme.
