3 - Introducing a Thrift Market in Front of the Silos to Promote Social Interaction and the Lifestyle of Frugal Hedonism Existing Popular Markets Analysis 1 - Marrickville Organic Markets Dog-friendly markets aren’t just a ritual for locals – loyal visitors from all over Sydney trek to Addison Road Community Centre for organic groceries and a wander around Reverse Garbage.

2 - Orange Grove Organic Food Markets Using the expanses of Orange Grove primary school, these markets fill the playground with covetable goods on a weekly basis.

3 - Cambridge Markets EQ 4 - Sydney Vegan Market Across the stalls, people can expect to see Sydney’s most popular vegan brands, peddling everything from vegan sausage rolls and vegan fried chicken snack packs to vegan cinnamon scrolls and fluffy doughnuts.

5 - Rozelle Collectors Market Stallholders have been selling their pre-loved wares to an ever expanding audience in the grounds of the Rozelle Public School for over 20 years, and the market community had developed a reputation as brilliant spot for a poke about, catch up with friends, and to bag some unique finds.

‘We used to live in those big warehouses… I had a 400 pounds old german piano… we brought the piano in the top level of the warehouses…

Because it is so closed to the water, not great for the condition of the piano, but the sound, it was so moist, sometimes, it was just lush…’
