An indoor market beside Wonnerup Wetlands, where the Wadandi people have sourced food for more than 50,000 years.
About this market
Origins Market sits in the heart of Busselton, close to the Wonnerup Wetlands, a place of deep historic, cultural and environmental significance to the Wadandi people. Traditional owners have sourced food from this land for more than 50,000 years, a span of continuous use that makes the market's own celebration of fresh, local produce feel like a direct continuation of an extraordinarily long story rather than a new idea.
Fifty thousand years of food, one roof today
That deep history sits alongside a genuinely modern market concept: more than 15 eateries, a licensed tavern, bakery, coffee makers, fresh juice stalls and handmade gifts and homewares, all bringing together a community of Western Australian makers under a single indoor roof. It's a format built for lingering rather than a quick shop, wine and beer tasting and live entertainment turning a visit into a proper outing.
