A chance reading of a local paper led us to discover a fabulous car show last weekend…the Maling Road Auto Classico… Maling Road is a gorgeous street in the Melbourne suburb of Canterbury, and one I know very well although I haven’t been back there for ages. I can’t think of a better setting with […]
One of the big benefits of social media is the ability to make friends across the country and even across the world. I discovered this little shop in Ballarat via Instagram, and have been wanting to make the trip up the highway every since. And a few weekends ago, we finally made it…in fact, it […]

A few months ago, we went along to a camera market which turned out to be packed with vintage cameras…and people! We were unable to get close to some of the popular tables as there were too many people…who said film photography was dead! But because I had a little money to spend (thanks footy […]
