A number of weeks ago now (well, as per when this post will appear) I visited Chinatown in Melbourne. We have a pretty decent Chinatown in the centre of town, where you certainly can find a plethora of Chinese eateries. I remember a wonderful dumpling restaurant from my fays at University that we would frequent …

The State Library is a significant landmark in the city that is Melbourne. Right now it’s undergoing renovations, and looks a bit rubbish as you can see, but it’s certainly a useful place to note if you’re visiting. Why? Well not so much because it has all the Harry Potter books, and actually I don’t …
So here’s a little secret I thought I’d you in on. If you’re coming to Melbourne, or living here and about to travel overseas and need some foreign cash. United Currency Exchange is the place I go to change my cash. Why? Because the rates are really exceptional. By that I mean I haven’t found …

Howdy all and I hope this post finds you well! Last week I took the chance to attend the Royal Melbourne Show. The Royal Melbourne Show is a big event that happens every September-October in Melbourne at the Royal Showgrounds, Flemington. If you’re in Melbourne at that time of the year, it’s not a bad …
Howdy all! Today’s post is a little bit of a life update in a way I guess. The weekend just finished I’ve been out and about a bit, some in the line of duty for work, some for my other hobby, making my fan fiction, and then there was Saturday night out with my wife …

So, last week I went to see Brian Cox at the Plenary in Melbourne. My wife had asked to go and see him late last year when he was next out, and so tickets were bought (Cox himself made a joke at the price of the tickets) and then late June 2019 the day had …
I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but in 2019 I’ve made a conscious decision to include (at least) one post about Australia per week. And today I wanted to briefly look at Australia’s State and Territory capitals. Because they are Australia’s main cities I guess, although there are certainly others of size and importance. …
Hi all. Back with another ‘Tasting’ segment today. I wanted to take you all to A La Bouffe, my wife and my favourite little French Restaurant in Melbourne. Not that I frequent a lot of French restaurants, it must be said. Maybe… two French restaurants in the last five years. Notwithstanding the French restaurants I …

Recently I had the opportunity to ride Melbourne’s largest Ferris Wheel, the Melbourne Star. This giant wheel is in the same vein as the London Eye, it rises 120 metres above the ground and gives you a complete view of Melbourne far and wide. It’s an expensive ride at full price - $36AUD for an …
Today I thought I’d share a place I visited a couple of months back now, the museum of the Royal Australian Airforce (RAAF) Museum, in Point Cook attached to the RAAF base there. From Melbourne it’s not far, around 30 minutes by car from the CBD, in an area that is full of paddocks and …
