Australian singer-songwriter Josh Pyke was on to a good thing when he sang about moving into a lighthouse in his single The Lighthouse Song. Pyke had identified a traveller’s fantasy and plucked it beautifully from his guitar. It’s a fantasy drenched in wanderlust and sparks curiosity in any traveller’s mind. Who wouldn’t be lured by […]

Melbourne is not only renowned for its lush parks and gardens, Victorian-era architecture and tree-lined boulevards; it’s a city that’s just as well-known for its rainy weather.

What I love about The Food Truck Park in Preston is its themed food weekends.

Before long, the waddling would begin

It’s where a torrent of waves from Bass Strait collide into craggy cliffs stretching the breadth of the island.

Travelling to inner city Melbourne to eat vegan gluten-free food at Wholey Day in a not-for-profit arts community setting is a warming way to spend a Sunday morning. Though, getting there early is the key to experiencing this wholefoods, raw, vegan, organic, and gluten-free market. Schoolhouse Studios, in their words, offers ‘affordable workspaces to

Travel along Maroondah Highway in the outer east of Melbourne and the trail leads road-trippers to the leafy township of Warburton in the Warburton Valley. It’s well under an hour from where I live in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs and about an hour’s drive from Melbourne’s city centre. Strip shops line the main street – their

So, I entered a competition earlier in the week and I won two tickets to the Melbourne Comedy International Festival. In particular, I won a double pass to Australia’s own – Michael Workman – for last night. A welcomed win, indeed! I’ve been to the festival in years past and a good time always ensues.
