Nestled in the beautiful suburbs of Balwyn just minutes outside of the city, you could easily overlook one of the most interesting cafés in Melbourne. Having opened in September 2013, Scarvelli has been serving delicious food to a very health conscious clientele.

Daylesford: Sweet Decadence
Set in the heart of the main street in Daylesford, this quaint little restaurant has more chocolates than you can dare poke a stick at. However, if you are not after a chocolate fix and trust me, the sheer sight, smell and choice will blow you away…. then the menu is something you can really get behind.

Melbourne Open House: AGL Building
The Melbourne AGL building opened in 2015 and is right above the Southern Cross Station. What I found to be quite fascinating is that the rumblings and toots from the trains did not pierce the entire building.

Winter Night Markets 2015
The 2015 winter night market is on again and you need to go.
They have included a new fun thing called the silent disco whereby people have headphones and are linked to the same channel that tells you the actions you need to complete. There is nothing like a bunch of people just silently moving up to you and busting a groove to bring a smile on your dial. Especially if you have no idea what they’re doing.
And as always I ensured that I got into the best food option there was. Given it was my birthday recently, I caught up with a good friend, after a long time. By long, I mean it’s been a year. And we caught up at the exact same thing last year.
But unlike last time, I made sure to go around the entire section to get a glimpse of everything before I let my stomach decide. Last time, I had an amazing burger only to find more exotic fare 5 stalls down (crocodile and ostrich).

Sunshine Coast: Ocean Street World Festival
A true world festival, I must admit that I was amazed at the events and scrumptious food on display on the Sunshine Coast.
I always set my expectations really low for locally organised festivities. Experience has always let me down but 2015 is shaping up to be one that’s defying these odds.

The Basin: The Basin Music Festival
They say,
“Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you try to chase it, the further it gets away from you. But if you stop and wait, it will come and rest gently on your shoulder.”
I belive it was Calvin Coolidge, then again, I was never one for getting the quote attribution right. The Basin Music Festival is an annual event run by the locals to highlight what’s best about the area.
Needless to say, I was impressed. Nay – I was blown away.
