Shopping and markets

South Australia's market and shopping scene is a cacophony of artisan produce, regional food and hand crafted wares. The thrum of markets define weekends as locals weave their way through stalls to stock up on everything from just-baked breads to locally made threads. In the heart of the city, authentic smells from across the globe waft from kitchens, jars of tomato sauce are stacked next to continental breads and small goods, cakes and chocolates tempt passers-by while organic produce provides the perfect balancing act at Adelaide Central Market. With a burgeoning creative scene, bazaars, boutiques and galleries are a launching pad for artists and craftsmen. Beyond the city, meet the local producers at the Adelaide, Barossa, Willunga and Adelaide Hills farmers' markets or buy seafood fresh from the ocean on the Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island.
