Brumby’s Bakery in the Albert Park shopping village has taken street art to a new level.
This is a unique way to enter their shop – a couple of hops, a couple of jumps and you are there.
It is a way for the kids to entertain themselves after they have finished their Baby-Chino at a neighbouring [...]

The Local Pub is a sports pub and on the evening we were there they had the Rugby world cup on every screen. There are a lot of screens. This is a plus if you are there to watch sport. We had a smallish screen on the wall beside our table. The Rugby Game [...]

These hamburgers are so good that I would drive across town for one. But it is not just the hamburger that appeals.
It is the the experience of watching the team at Andrews cooking them. They make it into an art form.
Order your burger from the blackboard menu then hang around and watch. There are a [...]

Albert Park and Albert Park Lake have moved into spring with the cutest and most beautiful baby swans (cygnets) sifting through the grass and gliding around on the lake. Some are very young – just balls of pale grey fluff and it is amazing to see them staggering about on their little legs.

I had not intended to go to the Cricket Club Hotel in fact I have never thought of going to the Cricket Club Hotel. It is one of those Melbourne places that have never entered my consciousness.

Melbourne is a city of public gardens and parks but sometime it’s nice to soothe the soul in a Melbourne place that is more like our own courtyard; if we are lucky enough to have one.
The Garden of Eden Nursery in Albert Park is a Melbourne place where you can recharge your batteries and dream [...]

Saigon means Vietnam, to most of us, yet Cafe Saigon 159 – 161 Victoria Avenue, Albert Park serves a variety dishes from a number of Asian countries. I’m not sure if this is an advantage or not.

You don’t have to be a railway buff to enjoy a stop at the Victorian Railway Arts and Antiques – the place that is like a museum.
Ride the 96 tram that’s the light rail, to St Kilda and get off at the Albert Park Station.
From the platform you walk into the old, red, brick station [...]

One of my favourite places to breakfast in Melbourne is the Mart Cafe at Middle Park – Middle Park tram stop for tram 96 to St Kilda.
This cafe is right on the tram stop – platform 2. Notice the name – tram backwards.
In the summer I wander in early and make my way out onto [...]
