Maybe you waited too late to book that restaurant and or you’ve been busy (well, it just wasn’t a priority, but that’s a whole other topic). You’re probably thinking… ok, just get on with it. Well, first and foremost, plan and you will be fine. If not, then no, you are planning to fail. So without further ado, here is my top 5 list.

Upcoming Events: Christmas in Melbourne 2014
The iconic Yarra River that runs through Melbourne
Things have been rather hectic for me but only because, as you’d know, I wrote about ‘what’s next’ and thanks to Stephen Covey, I’ve rewritten my eulogy. Scary, yes. But mortality is both a gift and a curse. Continue reading
Port Douglas: Old Train Tracks
Fine Dining into the sunset
In bygone days, Port Douglas was also a port and had to have many things be transported up and down from the water’s edge. As far as I was concerned, I had no idea what they could possibly used for when I first entered the place and saw those disused tracks along the main roads. But if you remember that “Journey of Discovery” aka my walk along the 4 mile beach that turned out to be an amazing half day adventure. Continue reading
Melbourne: Heart of St Kilda Concert
Every year, there is one concert that’s really worth it. One that I’m willing to break my self imposed rules to attend. Never has a festival had such an amazing line up of comedians, local favourites and the true heart of the suburb of st kilda. Continue reading
Melbourne Open House: Coop’s Shot Tower and Museum
I didn’t quite catch what this place was all about. From what I gathered is that they used to make shots. How and why? I don’t know. This was towards the end of my tour, having clocked close to 20,000 steps and been walking for 2 hours straight without water and food. (I didn’t get the chance to eat).

Melbourne Open House: State Library of Victoria – La Trobe Reading Room
The La Trobe reading room is always open. Plus it has been used in a few movies – extra points for you if know which one. I’ll narrow it down for you. It’s one of the ones that Katie Holmes did in the noughties. If that doesn’t get you, then checking out the Ned Kelly armour is another worthwhile visit.

Melbourne Open House: State Library of Victoria – Queen’s Reading Room
This room, in it’s hey day was spectacular. Or perhaps it’s my love of black and white photography that is tainting my views. If that’s the case, the current restoration will give you some idea of how amazing this place is.

Melbourne Open House: Myer Mural Hall
I don’t know whether this was always there in the Myer building or if it’s a new addition. If it’s new, then it’s definitely worth a visit. Why?
