Daylesford, Victoria

We head to Daylesford over the weekend, it was a 1.5 hrs drive from Melbourne, and we are lucky to have a sunny and cool weather on that day. I will be writing more on Daylesford over the next posts. We made our first stop at Daylesford Sunday market. Btw, there's also heritage train ride on weekend at the market as well.

It is a huge outdoor market and what really caught our attention is the row of big yellow leaves trees. And stall owners just camp their stalls right below these giant trees. You need to be careful if it is on a wet day, as there will be no shelter to hide, so bring along rain coat or umbrella.

Lots of stalls selling fresh vegetables, food and produce. (And also lots of stalls selling junks too). The vegetables certainly look very fresh and surely is good enough to be use to whip out some great dishes.

We bought some handmade soaps from one stall, but you can get a better deal if you walk further into the market. There's two other stalls selling soap as well. And the best deal probably you can get is 3 for $5.50 or 1 for $2.

Honey freeks can go to O'Tooles honey stall, they say is probably the best honey you can find in the state.

Anyone for a coffee or tea?

Daylesford is also famous for their local freshly made sourdough. This stall here, we saw long queues of people lining up for it. We didn't try it, but I managed to taste local sourdough at a cafe for lunch (more on that on my next post).

Have you heard about lime butter? It is definitely new to me.

Next we head off for lunch at The Convent Gallery. More about that tomorrow ...
