The QBE is the oldest and largest market in the southern hemisphere. The Market is a major Melbourne tourist destination, offering a variety of fruit and vegetables, meat, poultry and seafood, gourmet and deli foods as well as specialty delicacies.
It also has a large non-food related market, selling a diverse range of clothing, shoes, jewellery
and handmade art and crafts.
Did you know the site it now stands on use to be a cemetary and although they did reinterned bodies there are still approx 9,000 people buried under the sheds and carpark of the market.
The market was once known as a thriving underground pirated goods centre. A massive crackdown in 1997 has helped to clean up the market's image, but has also resulted in an increase in prices for these types of goods.
We love the atmosphere and the diversity of the market that is why we come here.
