Dai Nam Food Store, Footscray, Dyranda Prevost, 1998.
Footscray Market is a magnet for immigrants, refugees and others living in the neighbourhood. Stallholders from Somalia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, the Philippines, the Pacific Islands, Malta and Greece add to the vibrancy of this truly multicultural market. Among the wonderful array of Asian ingredients, shoppers will find pig snouts, lotus flowers and an abundance of fresh seafood such as lobsters, prawns and mud crabs. Alongside the fresh produce are stalls selling art and craft, furniture, clothing and jewellery.
