Hi Reader,

Wow – what a month! With all the buzz from the Victorian Seniors Festival, we've had a wonderful influx of new subscribers, and we're so excited to have you all here. If you're new, welcome to our Seniors in Melbourne community where we share the best senior-friendly events, activities, and dining ideas around Melbourne and Victoria.

We've also got some exciting news: Seniors in Melbourne has just been announced as a finalist in the Victorian Tourism Awards! This is an incredible honour, and it really shows our dedication to helping you discover everything this wonderful city has to offer.

On top of that, we’re proud to have recently been recognised as a VTIC Quality Tourism Business, an accolade that highlights the pinnacle of excellence in Victoria’s tourism sector. This recognition not only enhances our credibility but also reinforces our commitment to bringing you top-quality recommendations and experiences.

I also wanted to share a lovely note from one of our readers, Valerie, who said:

“The information that I have just read is brilliant, most of this I didn’t know about. I am single aged 79 and find it very difficult finding things to do on my own. I will definitely be taking advantage of this information when the weather gets warmer. Thank you for all your advice in this article.”

Feedback like this keeps us motivated and helps us continue tailoring content to your needs.

With that, I encourage you to explore everything we have on Seniors in Melbourne, and if you ever have any suggestions or feedback, we’d love to hear from you.

Looking forward to connecting with all of you!

All the best,
Amy
