Bathers Beach Sunset Markets

I'm quite sad to report that this Saturday was the last of the Bathers Beach Sunset Markets.
I'm happy to report that they'll be back next summer! YAY!

If you didn't make it then don't fret. 'Like' the Facebook Page so you'll be the first to know when the fun kicks off at the start of next Summer.

Always a pleasant evening, Saturday was no different. We grabbed our bikes and enjoyed a steady cycle along the Swan, arriving at Bathers around 4:30. The stall holders were still setting up and the air was full of a hundred beautiful
aromas as they cooked up the first batch of food for the evening.

I like to get there early to make the most of the remaining sunshine (still English) and soak up the atmosphere before the night crawls in. We settled our picnic blankets on the grass and watched my 8 year old nephew happily throw himself around on the sand, while we set about the slightly more serious business of a very nice bottle of white wine.

The variety of food on offer is simply amazing. With Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Mexican, Moroccan and a good old Australian Hot Dog stand, there really is something for everyone.

We sampled a tasty green chicken curry and some Shalshouka, both delicious! Banana and salted caramel pancakes were ordered for desert and we were all jolly, slightly tipsy and sated.

I don't know the artist but live music was provided by a man and his guitar and an open air mini theatre was about to start just as we were getting ready to head home.

With dinner approx $10 each and a bottle from home, this really is a great family night. A beautiful sunset over the Indian Ocean never disappoints.
