I’m excited to finally be sharing a South Yarra neighbourhood guide! South Yarra is one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Melbourne, and I’ve included it in my itinerary for three days in Melbourne because it has so much to offer for visitors. It’s a pretty, leafy neighbourhood with a great mix of shops, bars, cafes, restaurants, parks and gardens.

Every few months, my friend Liv and I plan a weekend getaway somewhere in Victoria. We decided on High Country, since it was one of the few regions of Victoria I was still yet to visit, and Liv was keen to explore more of the area. At 3 hours from Melbourne, it’s the perfect candidate for a weekend getaway rather than a day trip. High Country … Continue reading A Weekend in the King Valley & High Country Victoria
This itinerary for one month in Australia, travelling the east coast from Cairns to Melbourne, covers some of the country’s most beautiful scenery and charming cities, from the Great Barrier Reef in the north to the Great Ocean Road in the south. This travel itinerary covers Australia‘s three largest cities, four state capital cities and four states. There is so much more to see in … Continue reading Itinerary for One Month in Australia: Cairns to Melbourne
Melbourne is Australia’s second largest city and is considered Australia’s capital of food, culture and sport. It might not have a world-famous icon like the Opera House, but there is much more to do in Melbourne beyond the famous street art and cafe culture. If you had just three days in Melbourne, I’d recommend spending a day each in the CBD, the southside and the … Continue reading Itinerary: 3 Days in Melbourne
The Cape Schanck Walk is the most beautiful hike I’ve done in Victoria. Just over an hour’s drive south of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula, Cape Schanck is perfect as a day trip from Melbourne. It’s also one of the easiest hikes I’ve done. I can’t find anywhere online that has the length of the boardwalk trail but I’d guess it’s less than 2 kilometres. It’s rare to find a … Continue reading Cape Schanck: The Mornington Peninsula’s Most Beautiful Hike
Melbourne is best explored by neighbourhood. I’ve written this Melbourne neighbourhood guide with travellers in mind – these are my favourite inner city neighbourhoods which I think have the most to offer for visitors and represent the things that make Melbourne such a dynamic city (not to mention, the most liveable city in the world for seven years running). I’ve lived in Melbourne since 2015, … Continue reading The Best Neighbourhoods to Visit in Melbourne
March has some of the most beautiful weather of the year in Victoria, so on the weekend my boyfriend and I decided to make the most of it with a day trip to the Daylesford & The Macedon Ranges. Initially, we planned to do a hike in the Macedon Ranges, have a picnic by Lake Daylesford and then stop in at a winery or two … Continue reading A Day Trip to Daylesford & the Macedon Ranges
Last weekend, I visited The Grampians for the first time with two girlfriends, Olivia and Marlo. The Grampians National Park is one of the most beloved regions of Victoria, around four hours’ drive west of Melbourne. The park is enormous, and best explored in sections. We stayed in Hall’s Gap, which is close to more lookouts, mountains and hiking trails than we could possibly do in … Continue reading Highlights from a weekend in the Grampians
The best restaurants in Melbourne, according to me, don’t always come with a Chef’s Hat (Australia’s equivalent of a Michelin star). I worked in marketing and PR for the hospitality industry in Melbourne for three years (and now do the same, but in New York), so eating at restaurants around the city was as much a personal passion as professional research. My favourite restaurants in … Continue reading The Best Restaurants in Melbourne
South Melbourne is one of Melbourne‘s most food-obsessed neighbourhoods. Locals seriously spoiled when it comes to eating and drinking, with more than their fair share of cafes, tiny owner-operated restaurants, specialty wine stores and old world pubs at their doorstep. At the centre of it all is the famous South Melbourne Market, full of fresh produce and street food. After living in the area for … Continue reading Where to Find The Best Brunch in South Melbourne
