Chances are, when you’re visiting Australia, Sydney’s the first place you’ll be landing at. After all, Sydney is the first port of call for ships and is home to the major airports in the world. Of course, you simply must tour the unmissable and spectacular Sydney Opera House, and the parks too, and the museumswith matching photos and footage caught on cam. But after that, what’s next?
It’s time to hit the markets, mate! Here’s a rundown of some of the finest and most flocked markets in the city.
Bondi Market
Bondi is most famous for its luminous beach and amazing waves. But when you’re not doing any surfing/sailing/swimming, you might want to consider the good ‘ol Bondi Market to catch up on your shopping. Bondi Market has just about everything in one go. Bargains abound there, from knick-knacks to second-hand books, from kitchenware to carpentry tools. As the cliche goes, there’s something for everyone. And there’s also always a friend to meet and get to know, fellow shoppers and shop owners. Just be conscious of how you spend; you’ll realise soon enough you want everything on site.
Balmain Markets
The Balmain Markets has that frenzied bazaar air, just like Bondi. Regularly held at the grounds of the local church, the Balmain Markets are an eclectic and dizzying collection of pre-owned goods. Figurines, boomerangs, pottery, hand-knitted merino wool, leather boots, books, booze, etc, etc. (Yes, there are booze too, of course. Although in Australia, beer is called piss.) So when you’re done shopping, grab a hearty lunch at any of the cosy bars and pubs within the market, and be prepared for the Big Burp.
Paddy’s Markets
This is Sydney’s biggest market so far, although somewhat more mainstream than the Bondi and Balmain markets. More new items are sold here than the used ones, sometimes directly coming from the retailers themselves. But because there’s no overhead costs of shop rent, they manage to keep their prices pocket-friendly. The Paddy’s Markets is the bargain-hunter’s mecca.
Sydney Fresh Markets
Of course, the best thing about being situated right next to the ocean is the fresh catch of fishes. And you can be sure all of Sydney’s great restaurants and wondrous chefs know how to transform these wriggling, fresh-as-fresh-can-be seafood into a gastronomic carousel on your plate. How do you say sumptuous and mouth-watering, again? Or if you want, you can bring home a fresh catch yourself straight from the market and whip up a nice recipe no cookbook can ever reproduce.
Tired of the winter blues and longing for some warm summer sunshine? If it feels like there’s no escape you might just consider turning your globe upside-down and heading off to Oz.
And flights to Australia can be very reasonable too depending on exactly where you want to go, when you want to go and whether you want to fly direct. It used to be that there wasn’t much choice when flying direct other than perhaps a flight to Sydney or a flight to Melbourne if you were very lucky. These days, however, if you are flexible with flight times and have no preferred airline, there are any number of choices including Adelaide flights, Brisbane flights and even direct flights to Cairns. This is very much a mature travel market – perhaps it may be going a bit far to say it’s like “getting the bus to the shops” but Australia have very much become open and accessible to most people.
And remember, whether you are looking for a cheap flight to Perth, a business class ticket to Adelaide, tickets to Sydney for a family wedding or a first class ticket to Brisbane, the things you need to consider are very much the same.
For example, if price is your main concern, then there may be a number of choices available involving widely varying flight times and routes. These days, Sydney flights route via Los Angeles, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Singapore and a whole host of other stop-offs en route. The key is to be flexible and shop around so that you know that your cheap flight to Cairns or your cheap tickets to Perth are exactly what they say they are – cheap.
Class of travel is of course almost always the single biggest factor influencing the cost. Although you will find deals in the market for cheap Business Class tickets to Melbourne or an Adelaide flight ticket in First Class, you have to remember that these are called “premium cabins” for a reason. It has to be said that your best bet to get that genuinely “cheap” flight to Australia is to go in economy, not worry about what time you leave or arrive or where you may have to transit through.
The biggest trick though is to plan ahead. When booking your flight to Brisbane or your Melbourne cheap flights, think about when you want to be there and when you need to be there. Seasonality is crucial. For example if you need a ticket to Perth for the Christmas holidays but don’t mind flying Christmas Day itself, the cost will be considerably cheaper. Likewise if you have said that you will buy tickets to Australia to visit the relatives “next year”, remember that fares during our summer (Australian winter) will be considerably cheaper. The same can even apply for example when booking a business class ticket to Sydney. The key is to look at different dates and check with you agent when booking to make sure you really are getting cheap tickets to Brisbane or the perfect Melbourne flights for you and your family. Just remember, a few days either way can make the difference of thousands of pounds on a typical sized family’s holiday tickets to Adelaide or flights to Sydney to see the relatives…
