Geocache Description:

Sydney Fish Markets is located in Blackwattle Bay.


Until 1945 in Sydney, fish was sold by licensed fish agents at the Haymarket fish market. In 1945, the New South Wales government transferred the marketing of fish to a Government Department and had a regulated system for selling fish from Sydney. Co-operatives also marketed fish outside of Sydney. In 1966 the regulated markets moved from Haymarket to the present location.

In 1994, the fish marketing system was privatised with total deregulation occuring in 1999.

The NSW Government announced in November 2016 that the market would move to a new site, so get in quick to hook up with this cache.
