For those of you who would like to incorporate another exciting component to your day out, why not consider catching the Sorrento Ferry over to Queenscliff.

As the market is not too far from the Sorrento/Queenscliff Ferry Terminal it is an easy stroll from the ferry to the market and back.

Of course if you are considering touring the area or even staying for a few nights, then the ferry can also transport your car, RV or caravan across the bay.

Check out the Queenscliff Sorrento Ferry website for more details and maybe even book your trip online ... http://www.searoad.com.au/

What better advice to get than that from the local grower who understands the region, what grows and better still what doesn't. That way you use your money wisely.

Whenever you visit a market it is always good to know whether it is a dog friendly market and this one, I was glad to see, is just that.

One of the things that I love to do whenever I visit a market in Victoria, is to chat with the stallholders.

Both David and Karen from Elegant Kitchen Boards are a typical example of 'stallies' with a story to share.

Not only a story about the products that they sell but an insight into what they do, why they do it and what else they have been up to.

David's kitchen boards are fascinating, by the way, in as much that the raw material for his boards comes with its very own story. Take for instance the Oregon (pin) that comes from the old Geelong Wool Stores or perhaps the Merbau (brown) that was acquired from the Victorian Arts Centre.

David tells us that the Cheese Knives are made from Blackwood procured from the Geelong Gollege.

So when you make a purchase you may be taking home a piece of 'far dinkum' Geelong Heritage.

Dot is another fascinating stallholder with an interesting story to tell.

Dot's Barbie Dolls Clothes and accessories are fascinating, I'm sure her collection of barbie Dolls and Ken and his mates will fascinate young and old alike. Lots of memories flooding back I am sure. Ken and the boys don't miss out either, with lots of outfits to choose from.

You can also find Dot at other Markets in Victoria has on offer such as Point Lonsdale on the 2nd Sunday of the month.

Some of the Queenscliff Market Stall Holders

The day I visited the Queenscliff Market, the wind was blowing a gale and Rita was really struggling with her stand. That's what caught my eye and once caught I just had to take a closer look.

Talk about a modern twist on an old theme.

Wow, what an amazing array of uniquely crafted crochet rugs, pillow overlays, toys, bags and other well made items.

Took me back to those rugs I used to see draped over the couch at my mother in-laws so many years ago.

These, however, are beautiful - masses of vibrant colours and modern designs. You seriously have to check out Rita and Ray Crochet either at the Queenscliff market in Victoria or online.
