Took a walk around the Rocks this morning on our way to the Fish Market. Although it was a bit nippy, and very windy, it was a beautiful winters day and the sun was strong and warm once you moved out of the breeze. Managed to get some atmospheric shots of the bridge and the wharf buildings around Walsh Bay. It took us a good hour to walk from the rocks to the Fish Market, which wasn't helped by having a grumpy baby to deal with. The fish market was really busy but then it was Saturday lunchtime so we shouldn't have been surprised! The market itself was really interesting but not quite what we'd expected. We thought we'd see loads of guys in yellow oilskins dragging around huge polystyrene boxes of fish and ice, instead what we got was the fishy equivalent of Selfridges with massive glass cabinets displaying mountains of weird and wonderful seafood. Everything from prawns to sushi grade tuna, huge red snapper, abalone and oysters. We bought a bag full of prawns, squid, ling and Moreton Bay bugs to take home (photos tomorrow!) and then bought a tray of fish and chips and joined the masses sitting on the fake grass in the sun. It was amazing but don't tell Daisy as she'd finally gone to sleep!
