This is Rarotonga’s new open air market, the first permanent structure of its kind in the Cooks. It is 130 feet long and 20 feet wide and cost about £ 1,500 to build. It accommodates 36 concrete slab stalls, 6 feet in length, and is sited on the narrow strip of land between Avarua harbour and Hotel Rarotonga.

The stalls will be rented at 2/6 weekly, and the money will be used to hire a caretaker and provide cleaning materials. — W. H. Percival.
