On this day in 1875 Florrie Forde was born. Florrie was probably Australia's most successful popular singer ever which is why we have listed her in our 200 Significant Australians, and she became one of the best loved music hall entertainers in the world.

Davies Park Market

Davies Park Market, West End

A large outdoor market featuring fresh produce, some of it direct from the farmer as well as clothing and large range of other goods. Parking can be an issue if you don't arrive early, so why not walk from the ferry. White Hat suggests you buy a breakfast and sit overlooking the river as a great way to start your weekend.
