Sunday Market at Evandale








Evandale is 20km southeast of Launceston and it is a National-Trust classified town from the 1830s - the Sunday market is a long-running event. We spent a very pleasant couple of hours browsing the stalls and even managed to bag a few bargains (3kg Sundowner apples for 3 bucks!!). There were over 100 stalls and this included some selling local organic produce.




After our stroll around the market we explored the local town which is very pretty. Most of the old buildings bear descriptive plaques but we also picked up a free Heritage Walk brochure from the local Information Centre which was very useful. Evandale we discovered is also famous for the three-day long National Penny Farthing Championships as part of its Village Fair.
