Important Travel Information

As this is the first Red Hill Market of the season, the roads are likely to be particularly busy, especially Whitehill Road. Please allow extra travelling time.

If you’re coming from Mt Martha or Mornington, I suggest taking Dunns Creek Road and come the back way. When entering the car park of Endeavour Fern Gully, look for the EXIT ONLY sign near the bus stop and turn left there. There are tennis courts directly opposite the entrance. The Entrance to the car park is further along and a little hard to see.

Please drive carefully and don’t worry if you are held up because of the market.

Looking forward to a lovely morning of Tai Chi, fresh air and good company!

Breathe. Relax. Enjoy.
