Can any locals point me in the direction of a big, orange pumpkin? I really want to carve one for Halloween this year (it’s on my list!) but haven’t had any luck finding one.

I’ve been re-inspired by Loobylu, so please help me out!

    Hey,
    Have you tried any of the markets? Maybe Queen Vic or South Melb. I recall seeing them at the South Melb market (years ago) hungover one morning – I actually tripped over it – hence the reason I remember it.

    Good Luck!

    Thanks for your help everyone!

    I ended up finding mine at the local grocer – it was the last one. It better be worth the twenty-two bloody dollars it cost me!

    Looking forward to choosing a design now, this should be fun. And Ralf, that was such a Scroogey link! x

    Hi – I actually ordered some pumpkins off coles online and they arrived today and look great! You can also check out the Sydney Fruit Markets too. Good luck :)
