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 […]
I love film photography and I love quirky, and we recently discovered an exhibition that combines both! Patrick Pound: The Great Exhibition is the first comprehensive exhibition of the New Zealand-born, Melbourne-based artist and it is currently being held at NGV Australia. Pound is an avid collector…something I can relate to as nowadays I am […]

Westography: Images of a Vanishing Suburbia by photographer Warren Kirk is an fascinating insight into Melbourne’s western suburbs. The […]
Finally we had some hot weather forecast…albeit only for a day…so we got up early and head out for an adventure with our furkid before the heat hit. We decided to go into the city, starting with a circuit around the 3.8km Tan…this a well known walking track in Melbourne. It goes around Kings Domain […]
When we head into the city, we usually park at Federation Square….it is central to where we go, and it is an easy jump to get on the freeway. Ages ago, we noticed a garden on the top level, but had never taken the time to check it out…until last weekend. We have resurrected our […]
