A look at life, food, travel and more
The Macedon Ranges The Macedon Ranges are superb in Spring, located about 50 minutes outside of Melbourne CBD. This is definitely worth a day trip ---currently the flowers are out in bloom and everywhere you turn there are cascades of yellow roses and gorgeous hues of colours on all the trees and bushes. The Stokes... Continue Reading →
Well yes this is correct but aren’t we supposed to be wrapped up in a beautiful package looking the best that we can be??? With 70 sleeps until Christmas we need to get cracking …and on the days that we aren’t going out for dinner or being invited out for a celebratory lunch we need... Continue Reading →
From the old to the new…Trams, Trams, Trams with the occasional clip clop of horse-drawn carriages thrown in! --You can enjoy a ride in a horse-drawn carriage for 20 mins for $100. In the city circle it is free for Melbournians and tourists to get around just hop on and hop off the trams to... Continue Reading →
Pastiso /Pastuso…Let’s call the whole thing off…or not! This Peruvian restaurant is hidden away at the base of unassuming AC/DC lane filled with graffiti and alternative bars, this is certainly one of Melbourne’s hidden treasures. Last night we were a small group of 32 Chaine des Rotisseurs members packed like sardines into the rear wine... Continue Reading →

The restaurant is cleverly situated in the basement... Continue Reading →

Yeah oh yeah I can hear those sleigh bells calling! Isn't it great to lose weight and feel healthy? It is just awesome seeing the scales reduce -- many say don't get on the scales everyday ---forget that --- celebrate the small wins even if they are only a pound. The hunger pangs hit around...

Oh yes we have all looked at our scales and the disappointment certainly shows on our faces when looking in the mirror. I thought it only fair to share my knowledge of weight loss to the many as my Christmas present to you all. It is simple as long as you pay attention to what... Continue Reading →
There is nothing dainty about the morsels here by appearance or the bursts of flavour in your mouth. There are a few in this family of restaurants now in Melbourne --- in the city there is a food court style in Bourke Street, another in Box Hill that specialises in Chinese hot pots and the...
