Never let anyone hold you back. I used to let me brother’s cat hold me back. Constant meowing for absolutely no reason. Draining my energy. Eventually I cut him out. Now I’m just incredibly lonely, but it’s been worth it. No regrets. 💪🏻 #wellnessthursdays #sundaes #queenvicmarket (at Queen Victoria Night Markets) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmPPzFLnYmq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u547xqwi5ruo

Queen Victoria Market (Final case study research)

Queen Victoria Market – Tell me your very first thoughts hearing this place, is it just simply a market that you can think of?

Well, “much more than just market, it is a great popular tourist attraction as a soul of Melbourne to understand more about Melbourne culture and history for such a long time of establishment” – Kathleen, my new friend in Mates Team RMIT suggested me. Of course, there are also shops, all kinds of food with iconic food hall and heritage shed for you to explore, especially with foodaholic like me. Certainly, all of these reasons are worth triggering my curiosity to visit and find more information about Vic Market.

Officially opened on 20 March 1878 with the spread over 7 hectares in the Southern Hemisphere, Queen Victoria Market itself signifies the long and important social history, life and also the role in the economy. It is also known as the largest market in the 19th century in Melbourne and one of the largest market in the world, also the only one that still remains its activities today from a group of market opened a little bit later after the opening of Vic Market site in that time.

What is more to talk about its historical landmark? The market site is also in connection with the culture of Aboriginal people as it is a part of Kulin Nations’ land. Especially, between 1837 and 1854, it is an Aboriginal burial area of Old Melbourne Cemetery, also the first official cemetery of Melbourne, where two Tasmanian Aboriginal men, Tunnerminnerwait and Maulboyheenner, are buried. This cemetery is also recognized as Aboriginal historic place under the Aboriginal Heritage Act. At that time, this cemetery site is divided into many areas based on religious denominations such as for use by Christian, followed by the burial area for Jewish, Aboriginal and Society of Friends (Quaker). This site is also home of the remains of approximately 10000 settlers, including John Batman, a father founding a city. This Cemetery site located between Queen, Franklin and Peel streets the current D Shed’s northern edge. Now, A cark park and some trading sheds replace it.

                                             Old Melbourne Cemetery

There’s also the controversial history about this cemetery and Vic Market. In 1853, the cemetery is unappropriated for the development of the city as the city is growing and it is also too close to the central area which results in larger site of Melbourne General Cemetery opened in Carlton in the same year. A market then is established next to the cemetery in 1859, along with the legislation is approved to exhuming all bodies in Old Cemetery and the permission of the Market Lands Act 1917 to extend the market into the rest of the cemetery. During 1877 - 1922, the market is extended significantly with 914 exhumation cases in 1917. Moreover, during that time, approximately 100 bodies are exhumed and and re-interred, mostly at Melbourne General Cemetery and Fawkner Cemetery. There are many bodies buried beneath this current cark park but there are no official records of them. Today, there is a bluestone memorial for Batman at the original cemetery site at the market.

There are also many the architectural significance of this market that I can just give out some of them. It is presented through the iron gates under the Produce Arch and between the shops and the Meat Hall on Elizabeth Street, showing the Melbourne coat of arms, along with the lace work.  From the Heritage Trail of Queen Victoria Market, it is describe that “Central to the coat of arms is the silver shield with the cross of Saint George representing Melbourne’s links to England and the four escutcheons of a fleece, a bull, a ship and a whale; represent the four major activities on which Melbourne’s economy was founded – livestock, wool, shipping and whaling.” In addition, the last building built in the market, the Dairy Produce Hall (the Deli Hall) which is such an art building. It is build with marble for the countertops as its natural properties and unique design to keep the hall and its products cool. Moreover, it is also special because of the assists ventilation and skylights providing natural light for better product display and the special white frame stems from the use of marble in Buchan in Victoria and the wooden window frames.

                                The Dairy Hall now versus in the past

Surviving until now, it is a bustle market that you can find anything from meat, fish, and poultry to clothes and souvenirs also experience the iconic building with special design. You can also see the multiculturalism presented here through many kinds of food booths from many countries such as Viet Nam, Malaysia, Mexico, Greek and Italy. There are also some special events such as summer night market only on Wednesday, which i was so lucky when spontaneously visiting the market on Wednesday. It opens late until 10pm that day with lots of activities and food in which live music is such an amazing on that I enjoy. By the way, there is the upcoming Winter Night Market on Wednesday 7 June to notice if you miss the Summer one. There are also many tours you can take to explore the market, just have a look at its website to find more information if you feel interested in it.
