GEMBROOK Market’s newest member of the family will draw plenty of attention on the Sunday with an array of snakes, lizards and reptiles on show.
Steph and Andrew McKenzie of Animal Tracks are one of the newest attractions at the market with their array of wildlife on display.
The pair recently enthralled crowds with a range of snakes, reptiles, crocodiles and a little Joey as well. This wildlife team can be seen at most of the markets.
Visitors can take the chance to have their photographs taken with the wildlife for just $5 per shot.
Steph said taking part in the market was a great way to give back to the community.
Market goers will not be disappointed with a wide range of preservative-free breads and Turkish rolls, fresh fruit and vegetables, plants and herbs on offer.
Amusement rides, an animal nursery and the reptile display will keep the kids and most adults entertained for hours.
The market is held on the fourth Sunday of every month from 9am to 3pm at the Puffing Billy Station in Main Street.
New stallholders including community stalls are welcome and can book a spot by calling 0437 664 121.
