"At Coledale Market you stroll around ready to receive. And receive you usually do, if you can stop talking to the other customers long enough to rifle through the stalls of pre loved clothes, books, earrings, crockery, paintings, beautiful handmade knits and soaps. If you can withstand the scent of curry and coffee, fresh bread & cakes, you can get some serious shopping done. This is the kind of market I love-- one which celebrates the handmade, home-cooked and recycled.” - Kerry O’Connor Coledale School Markets run on the 4th Sunday of every month from 9 AM to 3 PM, on the grounds of the Coledale Public School

Shopping

There is a new snazzy shopping centre just off Crown Lane, not in the spot indicated by the map. If you drive down crown st you can't miss it. Parking is in Market St. Sydneysiders may find it boring, but it's the latest hip and cool place for young people in Wollongong, with trendy cafes, restaurants as well as popular chain shops. There is a market in the mall from 9 - 3 every Friday. It's a great spot for local food, craft and art. There are farmers and local producers here. It's fun to chat to the locals.
