New! Melbourne walking tours just for our 60+ community
|
Hello Reader, We’re so excited to share something new with you! We’ve teamed up with local writer and tour guide Paul Daffey, who knows Melbourne’s stories like the back of his hand. Together, we’re launching a series of walking tours that bring the city’s past to life — from the people and places that shaped it to the hidden corners you might have walked past a hundred times without knowing its story. These Melbourne walking tours have been created especially for our 60+ community — relaxed, entertaining, and full of good company. They’re also a lovely way to meet others, with a friendly chat and a break for coffee or tea halfway through the three-hour walking tour. Our first Under the Clocks city walking tours begin Friday 5 December. Tickets are $60. We’d love for you to join us — find out more and book your spot here. Until next week, Amy

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...
