At the moment I’ve been sick with a bug I picked up, so on days like these I like to rug up and head into nature.
Today I went to La La falls in Yarra State forest. Checkout my short video and pictures below about it!
90-Mile Stars
I’ve always had an interest in space and astronomy, there is something I find quite interesting in seeing and understanding something that is bigger and older than us all. I recently finished a Post Grad certificate in astronomy for the purpose of just extending my own knowledge.

Free to Feed
This year I was unsure what to do for Ash’s birthday, I was searching and searching for an experience to do. Finally, I found it! A cooking class, but this was no ordinary cooking class; it was one run by refugees. The company was Free to Feed and is a non-for-profit run here in Melbourne to help set up refugees and asylum seekers with jobs.
There were choices about what type of cuisine you preferred, so as we eat a lot of curries I picked Sri Lankan.
The evening was run by a refugee named Niro who travelled for 3 weeks on a boat, ended up in detention centres on Christmas Island & in Melbourne to finally be here taking this class. His story was incredible but his happiness and positivity was something amazing.
He taught us to cook a few meals from Sri Lanka (his own recipes), the best part was at the end of the night we all sat down and shared the meal.
The pictures below speak for themselves. If you interested checked out their website and facebook page.
Nikon Workshop @ Melbourne Zoo
I’m going to let the photos speak for themselves, but this weekend I did a photography workshop at Melbourne Zoo. It was run by Nikon Australia and Jay Town (he’s a photographer for the Herald Sun).
Snow Day out Mount Margaret, Buxton
Winter is coming has come! Normally we’ll head to Mt Donna Buang, but this time we want to take Poppy (our Pug). So after a bit of googling, I discovered Mount Maraget (half way between Marysville & Buxton (maps link), this hidden gem is amazing.
Road Trip to Adelaide
What better thing to do on a long weekend than a road trip from Melbourne to Adelaide. It was nice to be able to get away for a small break and see some new scenery.
We left Melbourne after work and proceeded towards Horsham, which was to be our destination for the night. The following morning we left bright and early in the fog (that reminded me of silent hill) with our destination as Hahndorf for lunch.
Gold Coast & Byron
Melbourne was starting to get a little bit chilly, so why not have a trip up to the lovely Gold Coast, QLD! Ash & I went up for a few days for a bit of getaway and did some exploring along the way. Continue reading “Gold Coast & Byron”
Warrandyte River Reserve
We found an amazing new place to take Poppy for a walk today. I was looking for somewhere closeby (it’s been a weekend full of driving). Fortunately I found Warrandyte River reserve and it’s only 10 minutes from home!
Thousand Blessings
A Thousand Blessings Cafe in Richmond has to be one of my favourite Acai bowls in Melbourne. It has an amazing texture and the fruit over the top is always fresh and seasonal.
There are lots of delicious raw treats too! Last but not least it is dog friendly and across the road there is an off leash dog park (Citizens Park).
I highly recommend it! Let me know what you think.
Dog House Cafe Collingwood
Yes! Finally, a cafe which is for you and your puppy! It only opened in August. Located in Collingwood, this cute place is perfect.
There is food for your dog – Ice Creams, Dogcino’s, raw treats, dog popcorn – the list goes on! Continue reading “Dog House Cafe Collingwood”
