Melbourne is blessed with some lovely tea houses…and by tea houses, I don’t mean of the High Tea sort…I am talking real tea, made properly!

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. It was built to host private fashion parades and exclusive events for the Melbourne elite, and the National Trust lists it as being “one of the finest Art Deco […]
