Sunbury has genuine best markets options that most people outside the suburb don’t know about. Long House and Common Post lead the pack, but there’s depth here. The suburb sits 41km from the CBD in Melbourne’s Outer West region, and what it lacks in hype it makes up for in substance. Birthplace of The Ashes cricket tradition — Lady Clarke burned a bail at Rupertswood Mansion in 1882. Locals have known this for years. Whether you’re a long-time Sunbury resident or just passing through, these are the places worth your time and money in 2026. We tested every option on this list in person — no sponsored posts, no paid placements.
