  The food stalls are generally a disappointment, except for Yokoso at the Sheridan Street end, and Stanpol at the Grafton Street end. There are also a few stalls selling things like organic produce, crystals, potted herbs, coconuts, massage, artisan bread etc. Not all the stalls are open throughout the weekend, but if you do go on a Saturday morning then you're more likely to find a larger variety.

  During the summer months, vegetables wilt and fruits over-ripen very quickly in the heat, so go look for produce further in where they are not exposed to the afternoon sun.

  Love this place, you can buy all locally grown fruit and vegetable here. Recommended is Real food and Mungalli Dairy Store :)

  If you visit near closing time on a Sunday (2-3pm), you will find plenty of sharp discounts as vendors are trying to move their stock. However, you will find that the produce will spoil rather easily compared to if you purchase them on Friday - so choose wisely.

  Great place to buy local produce & talk to the people that grow it. Also great for gifts, jewellery, shells, clothes & other unique pieces

  Rusty's markets are great... very very busy though. Unless you are in the know, it is hard to know where to buy the good produce from as the signage doesn't help. You need to know the locals and get the scoop so you don't get overcharged for produce that is not local... which is really what one bothers to go to the markets for in the first place - local.

  Locals tell me that Rusty's has lost some of it's shine over the years, but is still a good place to get cheap & good vegetables and fruits if you know where and how to look. There is pretty much no other place in Cairns where you can find such a huge variety of greens, especially for Asian or Italian cooking. Forming good rapport and long term relationships with the vendors also help, if you are a local. Getting past the tourist crowd can sometimes be a bother!

  An interesting collection of fresh fruit and vegetables, much at reasonable prices. More importantly the produce is fresh and frequently not available at the supermarkets. Luscious tropical fruit in season make it a must for many a local and an unusual and interesting diversion for tourists
