Real Stories, Real Melbourne: A Special Seniors in Melbourne Project
|
Hello Reader, We’ve got something a little special for you this week. At Seniors in Melbourne, we love hearing from people who truly know this city—so we were absolutely delighted when members of U3A Melbourne City’s Writers Group agreed to take part in a special storytelling project just for us. Their brief? To share a favourite Melbourne memory. These short stories capture Melbourne through the eyes of those who’ve lived it—quiet corners, memorable moments, and familiar places that have stayed with them over the years. We’re so proud to share this collaboration—let us know what you think! Warmly,
P.S. Feeling inspired? You might like to look for a U3A near you. U3A (University of the Third Age) offers a wide range of low-cost classes, groups, and activities for people over 50 who want to keep learning, stay social, and share their skills in a friendly, supportive environment.

Hello Reader, It’s Chris here. It had been more than 50 years since I last stepped inside the Oxford Scholar. Back in my RMIT student days, it was the pub across the road where mates and I would swap stories over a cheap pot. On a recent trip into the city, curiosity got the better of me and I wandered in for old times’ sake. The place had changed, of course, but sitting there with a cider in hand brought the memories flooding back. That afternoon led me to visit a few more old haunts, and it...
Hi there Reader, One of our lovely contributors, Kathy, recently reminded me of something important. She’d just been along to a Device Security: Privacy and Etiquette session at Darebin Library and told me she never misses a chance to learn more about using her laptop, emails and mobile. Her motto made me smile: “You don’t know what you don’t know.” Kathy told me she picked up some surprising advice (who knew emojis could be so risky?) and, just as importantly, had a good laugh along the way....
