Street artist Kaff-eine created an artwork at Dandenong Market, inspired by the market’s history.

For almost 90 years – from 1866 to 1958 – livestock was one of the primary attractions of the market with horses, cows, pigs and chickens sold via auction every market day. In 1958, the stock market was removed from Dandenong Market, moving to new and purpose-built facilities on Cheltenham Road behind the Dandenong rail yards. During the years the livestock market was located at Dandenong Market, cattle would be escorted through town by drovers to the auction yards..

Kaff-eine’s artwork is a homage to this important period in market history. The artwork is located on the upper level of the pedestrian ramp that connects Market Square to the multi-level car parks.
