Newsletter #145: Who’s Victoria’s most adventurous senior?
|
Hello Reader, Are you an ABC radio listener? This Sunday, two of our wonderful contributors, Kathy and Ordette, will be guests on ABC Radio Melbourne’s Sunday Mornings with Lisa Leong. The program has just launched a month-long search for Victoria’s Most Adventurous Senior, and the pair will be chatting about their own outings around Melbourne and Victoria, the same adventures they discover for you, our Seniors in Melbourne community. They’re both natural storytellers, so we think they’ll make great company on a Sunday morning. Tune in around 10:40am on 774 AM or through the ABC listen app. And are you Victoria’s most adventurous senior? Listen in for your chance to win some great prizes via ABC radio. Remember, adventure doesn’t have to mean climbing a mountain. Sometimes it’s a new tram route, a laneway you’ve never wandered down or a day trip you’ve been meaning to take for years. Whatever it looks like for you, we’re here to celebrate it. Warmly, P.S. Have you completed our 3rd Anniversary Survey? Please click here to complete the survey and be in the running to win one of five $50 Ticketek vouchers.

Hello Reader, Three years ago this month, I registered the domain name for Seniors in Melbourne and hoped there might be a few people out there who’d find our website and newsletter useful. Thanks to you, there are thousands. To celebrate our 3rd anniversary, I’d love to hear from you. Nobody knows this space the way our community does, and I want to understand what you enjoy about Melbourne, what makes exploring it harder than it should be, and what you’d like to see more of here. Take our...

Hello Reader, Paul here. About a decade ago, I was shocked to learn of the presence of the Eight-hour Day Monument on the corner of Russell and Victoria streets, on the northern edge of the city. The monument had been there for decades. I had just never noticed it. In my defence, many Melburnians fail to notice the Eight-hour Day Monument, possibly because we expect a certain bulk from our historic markers. This one is slender, as far as monuments go. During the Gold Rush era, workers formed...
