Serves two of my favourite things in awesome amounts of excess. Platters of fried chicken (the best one is coated in chilli sauce) accompanied with barrels of house beer.

A secluded coastal town only a short road trip out of Melbourne. Nice place to wander around and go for walks up into the hills.

A specialist bookshop that stocks a vast range of books relating to graphic design, photography and architecture, to name a few. Many hours (and dollars) can easily be spent here.

Besides being covered in the street art that is synonymous with Melbourne, the laneways also lead to some of the city’s best cafes, shops and restaurants, and are always worth taking time to explore.

Premium restaurant & bar featuring oysters, caviar & hearty wood-fired mains, plus cocktails & wine. Great food and a beautiful building.
