Indigenous markets at Bare Island, La Perouse

What better way to celebrate the start of NAIDOC week than with some top-notch indigenous food.

The "Black Markets" are held on the first Sunday of each month at Bare Island, La Perouse and showcase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.

This Sunday July 6, the Goanna Hut food stall will be trading a whole bunch of awesome snacks at the markets. Emu sausage rolls with native thyme, kangaroo and red wine pies, and warrigal green puffs to name a few.

Fred's Bush Tucker is on hand to provide tastes of different native ingredients and he'll even demonstrate how to prepare and cook abalone Koori-style.

Children can also learn how to plant their own bush-tucker plants in recycled drink bottles and learn about ways to protect the environment.

For kids wanting to try their hand at fishing, at 11am the Catch'n'Cook fishing class will teach 'em how to catch their own lunch and grill it it using traditional methods ($20pp including fishing gear).

The day kicks off at 9:30am and also features Aboriginal-designed clothes, spear-making classes, a communal weaving installation where you can weave your own fish for a larger artwork, and talks on the traditional uses of native plants for both food and medicinal purposes.
