Comments on: The Old Bus Depot Markets, Canberra http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/09/13/the-old-bus-depot-markets-canberra/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

There's one fruit that tastes like chocolate apparently! Hi Simon-Great stuff! :) Hi Conor- :lol: Indeedy! Isn't that fun when you get to ahve so many samples you don't need lunch? :P Oh yes that's a very good idea! No use getting sick for samples! Hi Gab-Isn't it! I'd love to get the recipe for it :) Ahhh cool, we loved the apple cider! :) Hi Fiona-Yes those olives are amazingly good and such variety too! :) Ah yes you come across some really nice oils and vinegars at markets don't you! Hi jess-Oh wonderful! :) Hi Angela-Fair enough! It varies a lot! :) Haha yes I love the innate portion controlling of the baked goods Hi Trisha-yes he's so generous with the samples there and they're so nice and fresh! :) Hi Jetlagmama-Sadly no we were stuffed from the samples and other assorted goodies :( Have fun - girls weekends are great! :) Hi Dzintra-Thankyou so much! :D Oh that's a great location then! Thankyou so much and you too! x Hi betty-Hehe well you would have had a ball at the cheese place! Ooh fantastic stuff! It will be warmer then too! :) Hi Anne-haha true that! Although usually they're just testers I suppose! :) Hi Moya-It's a nice policy so you buy it if you like it, not because you feel pressured to buy it. Ahh great plan, I like it! ;) Hi nora-It was very nice! :) Hi sandra-That's good, a market definitely needs food! Mmm yes I love buying dips mainly because I love eating them :P Hi Min Ai-Oh cool! :) There wasn't a dried pasta stall that I could see. What a shame! :( Yes we saw the chilli wine stall-wow that stuff is hot! :o I should for sure! :) Hi Cakelaw-Hehe it had been a while for me too!

It was definitely worth the stop! :) Hi Kelly-Ahh right! Yes that can be a tad frustrating if you want new things (but I suppose I didn't notice it as a one time visitor). Wow 7am, you are devoted! :O Thankyou very much for the recommendation! :D Hi Faith-Mmm yes they are good too, and I often find that I buy jams a lot.

My favorite samples are jams, relishes, and chutneys on crackers or small pieces of bread. What a great market, it looks like they have anything and everything a girl could want.

The only problem I have with those markets is its always the SAME stallholders so I usually go every couple of months. Next time you come down this way you will have to go to the Farmers Markets at EPIC (Exhibition Park in Canberra) which is on every Saturday morning. Its just wonderful but you have to be there early so you miss the crowds. I'm there very Saturday morning at 7am!! I live in Canberra & love going to the OBD markets.

I'm not sure if you know, but the local government is thinking of relocating the old bus depot markets. Timing and location are still up in the air. It's a very nice place to visit, one of the more interesting places in Canberra. Hi there! I’m not sure if you know, but the local government is thinking of relocating the old bus depot markets.
