🎉 Our collaboration with The District Docklands

Hi Reader, It's Chris here. I remember when Melbourne’s Docklands was little more than a working port and sprawling railway yard. To see how far it has come since those days is truly remarkable. Recently, we were called upon to visit The District Docklands for ourselves and to share its wonderful offering with you—and I must say, we were beyond impressed. Easily reached within the Free Tram Zone, we chose instead to walk from Southern Cross Station. The stroll over the preserved railway sheds, through leafy parkland and along the water’s edge, set the scene for the highlight of our day: discovering The District. This vibrant precinct surprised us with its variety. Spacious, modern, and thoughtfully laid out, it boasts everything from ice-cream parlours and coffee shops to restaurants that would satisfy any foodie. Add to that renowned fashion and footwear retailers, niche shopping finds, a state-of-the-art cinema and even immersive art experiences, and you have a world-class destination that deserves to be better known. We’re delighted to help shine a light on The District Docklands and play a small part in improving its reputation as a place worth exploring. We think you’ll agree it makes for an excellent midweek outing. Warmly,

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...
