A day in Dandenong
Dandenong is one of Melbourne's great multicultural food destinations, market, Little India and all. Here is a day worth the trip.
Dandenong Market
The Dandenong Market has run since 1866 and is one of Melbourne's oldest and most multicultural, a working market of more than 150 nationalities across fresh produce, specialty grocers and a world of ready-to-eat street food. Locals call it the cooks' market for good reason.
Little India and the Afghan Bazaar
Little India spreads along Foster Street by the station, two blocks of sari shops, sweet shops and subcontinental eateries, while the Afghan Bazaar on Thomas Street bakes bread in traditional clay ovens. It is some of the best and most authentic eating in Melbourne.
Arts and Harmony Square
The Drum Theatre, in the converted 1890 Town Hall, runs theatre, music, dance and comedy, and Harmony Square hosts festivals and outdoor screenings on one of the Southern Hemisphere's largest LED screens.
…then the escape room
Round the day off with a game: Chadstone is a straight run up the line to Oakleigh, with three rooms and live availability below.
