Cooktown Markets

Cooktown Markets are held every Saturday morning in the Lions Park, Charlotte Street. There were a range of stalls selling cooked food, second hand items, trinkets, fresh farm and garden produce, jams, chutneys etc. Everyone was friendly and happy to have a chat - it seemed to be a regular meeting place for locals. The markets were only small but very interesting and well worth a visit.

One stall was set up as a hair cutting station complete with mirrored dresser - $20 dollars and this was the cheapest haircut I have had for years.
