Aireys Inlet Virtual Market

Stop into one of the Great Ocean Road’s favourite towns while never having to leave your couch!

The stunning region of Aireys Inlet is nestled along the popular Great Ocean Road, around 120 kilometres south-west of Melbourne. The boutique coastal town is one of the coast’s hidden gems, being a region of stunning seashore views and pure serenity. However, due to the Coronavirus causing travel restrictions for all Australians, visiting this picture-perfect town is sadly not allowed. This is even sadder due to the Aireys Inlet Market closing down due to the laws, with the stalls and products sold are all locally produced, causing the community to suffer.

Luckily, the community has set up a Virtual Market online. Letting you connect with many of your favourite stallholders via the Aireys Inlet Virtual Market website. The website features the usual colourful and quirky style the market is famous for, priding itself on selling a variety of quality goods. With the motto being ‘homegrown, handmade, recycled, and vintage’.
