On this day in 1835, the schooner Enterprize landed its party of European settlers organised by (but not including) John Fawkner to commence the settlement to be later known a Melbourne. Over time this date has been celebrated as "Enterprize Day'. In recent times it has been re-badged and re-marketed as 'Melbourne Day'. although White Hat is not sure that John Batman would be particularly happy with that name and date.

Rocks Market

A market with over 150 stalls situated in the middle of George Street in The Rocks. Although this is an outdoor market the distinctive sails provide protection from the weather. White Hat enjoys having a meal from a local pub while sitting outside within spitting distance (not that we would do that of course) of the stalls. The emphasis of the market is on Australian memorabilia and gifts.

Sydney’s Paddys Markets Haymarket

This is Sydney's best-known market and and one of the longest established. In a large indoor setting on the edge of Chinatown and on the tourist tram route you will find stalls selling all manner of wares and produce. On the upper floors of the same building you will find food halls and a large number of variety shops. We at White Hat have shopped at this maket many times over the years and have been as delighted with the things that remain the same as we have with the the new additions.

Glebe Market

Glebe Market is a bustling outdoor market set in school grounds close to Sydney University. It has a distinctly alternative and hippy feel. However there is also a wide range of mainstream items and is a good place to find distinctive hand-made clothing. White Hat particularly enjoys a snack from the Indian stall. An hour or so spent at this market on a Saturday morning is a great way to relax into the weekend.
