Setting yourself up

Monash Marketplace is a good place to search for goods of all types (from mobile phones and laptops through to household furniture and cars).

Food

Melbourne is known as the food capital of Australia – if you like to cook, Melbourne’s produce markets can be great places to shop for ingredients. For those who prefer others to do the cooking, Melbourne has some great restaurants, cafes and pubs offering a wide variety of cuisines.
