The multicultural & multi generation QVM

It was a great way to spend a weekend morning. Learned a lot about the history of Queen Victoria Market and its people. We had a very knowledgeable and personable tour guide, who introduced us to traders along the way. Shoutout to Sam the gelato man and Bruce of Bruce Goose!
