Rustic finds at market
1 min read

RUSTIC creations by Maryanne Murdoch were a big hit at Inglewood Lions Club’s monthly country market last Saturday.
It was the first time the Inglewood resident had set up a stall at the market, recently moving into town from Moliagul.
The garden and wall art creations have been moulded from barbed wire, old agricultural implements and hammer heads.
“There was so much interest from today’s crowd that I had to duck home and get some more stock,” said Maryanne.
She said the market was a great attraction for the town and gave visitors and locals the chance to buy local products.
“We make anything out of what we can recycle and repurpose,” she said.
“It all started when we were cleaning up in the bush a few years back.
“There was lots of barbed wire that we picked up. We were able to give it a new life and still keep the rustic appearance from years laying on the bush floor.”
Wedderburn’s Di Gordon Cooke returned for her second appearance at the market that bounced back last month from a three-year hiatus.
“Another great day,” she said between serving coffees on the town hall lawn.
Market co-ordinator Eddie Sydor said  market stalls had seen a steady stream of customers within the opening minutes on Saturday.
“The market is already attracting regular buyers and visitors and also enjoying one of our famous Lions barbecues,” he said.
“We continue to have interest from new stallholders. Some people have seasonal goods and this means there will also be variety of offering at the market.
“The club is pleased with support received in the first two months. We can see more growth in the number of stalls in the months ahead.  The market also gives an opportunity for the community to regularly come together,” he said. 
The market is held on the second Saturday of the month.
