21 years ago when I first visited Cairns, Rusty's Markets was in the open and a huge tree stood smack in the center. Rain, hail or storm, stall holders turned up to add to the excitement. Later, Gilligans Back Packer Resort was built giving Rusty's Market a new facelift which allowed all stall holders to be under cover. I love Rusty's Markets, you get to meet so many people from all walks of life. You can even pick up great bargins, visit me at Mungalli Creek Outlet for all your organic dairy products or Jervois Organic meats, have a coffee, buy your veges have a meal and a whole lot more. Enjoy your day.
A must do for any traveller wanting to sample the exotic tropical fruits from the growers in the local area, Vegies also avaiable. A selection of amazing food from different corners of the globe is avaiable, plus a few coffee brewers the best i found was Barista sista located at the food end of the market. I had breakfast at La Creperie an amazing selection of sweet savoury crepes. Rustys Open Friday to Sunday. You wont regret the experience.
One of the must-visit markets if you visit Cairns! There’s a huge variety of fruits/vegetables/food and other items priced reasonably. There is parking in-front of the markets and on the surrounding streets although you have to pay a small fee (around $2 an hour if I remember correctly). Would be good to carry some cash as not every stall has card machines
Rusty's has always been a great place to shop for fruit vegies, the smell of fresh produce is unbelievable would be a great experience for anyone visiting Cairns. Food stores are great the service is always at a high level. Make sure you treat yourself to browse around enjoy Rusty's Markets...

A must visit if you are in Cairns and like fresh fruit and veg. Also some great food stalls for a bite to eat. Only open Friday and weekends.
The best markets in the world! Huge variety of good quality local produce and an abundance of fruit including the exotics.
