Flemington
A Georgian market town where Tuesday horse sales echo across cobbled squares.
Flemington moves to the rhythm of livestock auctions and seasonal fairs, its wide market square flanked by sandstone buildings that have weathered centuries of commerce. The town maintains an unhurried pace between market days, when farmers gather over early morning coffee and antique dealers sort through weekend finds.
