🎉 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, A while back, I thought I’d done something clever by picking up a lime tree on Facebook Marketplace. I love using limes in summer drinks and cooking, so I was pretty pleased with myself. The first year it produced one or two very ordinary limes, but I figured it just needed a better home, so I found a spot in the garden and planted it out. Sure enough, the next year it was thriving, producing plenty of fruit. But when I tasted them, they were odd—round, not quite right, and...
Hello Reader, I’m thrilled to share something very special with you — our very own Melbourne City Map, free to download and print whenever you’re planning a day in the city. The idea came about in conversation with my dad, Chris, who happens to be a retired cartographer. Together, we thought it would be wonderful to create a highlight map just for our readers. At its core, the map showcases 10 free cultural attractions in Melbourne’s CBD, but it goes further — featuring tram routes, public...
Hi there Reader, When I first started Seniors in Melbourne, my retired parents were lovingly roped in as my very first contributors. Fast forward to today, and we now have a wonderful team of more than ten explorers who head out across Melbourne and Victoria, sharing their stories, recommendations, and tips for planning great days out. We caught up on Sunday over coffee and cake at Chocolate Buddha in Federation Square — perfectly timed with Celebration Day, the official opening of the...
