The local tropical fruits are used by juice stands and the best place to sample and buy fresh fruit and vegetables is Rusty’s Markets next to Gilligan’s Hostel.

Come on Sunday before they close around 3pm, the veggies and fruits price are sooo cheap! More than half the price of Coles/Woolies.

Operating for over 30 years, Rustys Markets is a Cairns institution. Take a stroll through the local produce stalls and sample the freshest Far North QLD fruit & veg. Parking is free for 2 hours!

explore Rusty's while sipping on fresh sugar cane juice. Called roh in India or asab in Egypt, here we just call it sugar cane juice!!
