When we headed to Rippon Lea to visit the Dressmaker Exhibition a few months ago, we continued further south and paid a visit to Holy Bowly in Hampton. This café is all about healthy eating…fast food that is good for you! Superfoods are high on the agenda, and their menu changes with the season as […]
This city never fails to surprise me…in a suburb which I have visited and driven through hundreds of times, there turns out to be a wonderful gem. Rose Hill on Barkly is a gorgeous circa 1915 Edwardian house which is hidden down a local Box Hill street… And I had the opportunity to discover this […]
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to experience High Tea at the Myer Mural Hall…an iconic ballroom, built in 1932 on level 6 of the Myer Building.

A couple of weekends ago, we returned to one of our favourite haunts, and discovered a new vegan restaurant had just opened on Brunswick St just a few days before! We decided to give it a try, and check out this new addition to an area which is well known for excellent vegan restaurants. Tina’s […]
