Victoria Market is a huge flea market that covers a half city block in the northern part of Melbourne. After a short street car ride, the Russells spent a couple of hours wandering through the buildings and tents: there was food, animals, flowers, clothing, and Australian curios for sale. It was fun to relax, browse and see the different items.
