What’s not to love about Newtown? Situated in Sydney’s inner west, it’s a colorful, eclectic hub of mixed cultures, the arts, fashion, and wonderfully vibrant people. One of the best ways to soak up all these is to spend a day at the markets, which open right across the road from the train station every Saturday. Check out these creative slices of fashion:
