Hi there Reader, This week’s newsletter is a little special — it’s the 100th edition I’ve sent! That number isn’t really about me, though. It’s about this growing community of curious, generous readers who enjoy getting out and about, sharing ideas, and making the most of what Melbourne and Victoria have to offer. Over the past 100 newsletters, you’ve replied with tips, sent me your favourite cafés and exhibitions, forwarded emails to friends, and stopped me in my tracks with thoughtful messages. That’s what has shaped this newsletter far more than any calendar or press release ever could. So I’d love to turn the spotlight back to you. If you feel like it, hit reply and tell me: what have you enjoyed most from Seniors in Melbourne so far? A walk you finally tried, a concert you booked, a day out with family, or maybe a small local discovery that became a new favourite. Thank you for reading, for trusting our recommendations, and for being part of this shared noticeboard of ideas. Here’s to many more reasons to get out, stay curious, and enjoy the city together. Enjoy your week, P.S. Did you catch us on 3AW on Monday night? Paul and I were on air at 7.30 pm chatting with Sarah Maree Cameron about our new city walking tours — plenty of laughs, a few stories, and a lot of fun. If you heard us, thanks for tuning in, and if not, our tours are now live and ready to book.

Hello Reader, Last week I found myself in a room full of the people shaping the future of tourism in Victoria. The occasion was the Victorian Tourism Industry Council’s annual Vision Summit — where operators, event organisers, government and industry leaders gather to talk about what’s ahead. One thing became very clear. Tourism isn’t just a “nice to have”. It’s a $46 billion industry in Victoria — bigger than mining and agriculture combined. I reflected on why I started Seniors in Melbourne...
Hello Reader, I’ve recently started following the journey of a Melbourne retiree named Michael Kerrisk — and I can’t stop thinking about it. At 63, Michael has set himself a remarkable challenge: travelling from Melbourne to London without getting on a single plane. No quick long-haul flight, no shortcuts. Instead, trains, buses, ships and a carefully mapped route that will take him through Southeast Asia, across China and into Central Asia — the “Stans” — before eventually reaching Europe....
Hello Reader, It's Terrie here. Last week we took an easy train ride to the Showgrounds for the Caravan and Camping Show — and what a sight! From enormous luxury motorhomes (sadly beyond our budget!) to compact little vans, there were hundreds to step inside and compare. I quickly realised how useful it is to inspect them in person. Some were easy to climb into, others not so much — wobbly steps and missing handrails are worth noting. The Showgrounds is large, so I was grateful for the...
