The special
Monday Christmas Eve Market brought some good crowd attendances in the Upper
market with encouraging sales reports. Our photo shows the Centreway at E Shed
around noon.
String Bean
Alley didn’t fare so well which was probably understandable considering that
J-L Sheds were allocated for car parking.
A trader
noticed that the curated special market on the Monday included a stall-free
Queen Street. A taste of things to come?
One Trader
on Christmas Eve said he wasn’t too concerned about his takings for the day –
getting out of Christmas cooking was bonus enough.
A sight to gladden the heart of every trader - cars queueing along Peel St. all the way back to Victoria St. just to get into our car park on the day before Christmas.
Workers
dismantling the ice-rink claimed they had asked to trade past 24th
December but they were told the area was required for other activities.
(P.S. One of the main considerations for keeping to the original timing for the ice-rink was the temperatures expected after Christmas. Given the temperature shutdowns that occurred before Christmas that seems like a good decision.)

A trader
said that when a cricket test match is on in Melbourne between Australia and
India it pays to sharpen up on your cricketing terms. The city has been full of
cricket mad Indian fans who just love to talk about their game.
