What's on in Melbourne? Try some sassy jazz.

The gorgeous Sharrone Zaks plays a sizzling set of her own jazz and latin compositions at Richmond's iconic Dizzy's Jazz Club this Thursday.  Accompanied in the second set by a 12 piece women's brass band and an 8 piece Latin Reggae Cumbia band, this night promises to be such a hot night you'll need a very wide brimmed hat and and protective clothing.
Details on Dizzy's website.

Best Pastries et al in Melbourne

I love food.  Think I've mentioned that before.  But I particularly love sweetie-treaties and am drawn like an ant to a splodge of brandied plum jam, to places that render them well.  And such a place is Baker D Chirico.  Their macaroons are truly splendid and their pastries light and crispy and full of good things like rhubarb and poached pear (and they're both fruits, so they've got to be good for you).


The slabs of chocolate nougat bounce with hazelnut-chocolatey gusto straight from the counter into your mouth before you've coaxed 'that will be all thanks' from your salivating mouth. But their masterpiece is the light-as-air baked sour cherry cheesecake which may well spend a lifetime on the hips, but will be worth every crease in your 'too tight' jeans in years to come.   Enjoy!

Up. Up. And Away. Over Melbourne.


Brilliant Melbourne morning. Soaring across the Catani Gardens in St Kilda.  Watch you don't bump into a pelican up there.

Don't know what to do in Melbourne?

Try Halftix.
Cheap tickets to shows, theatre, music -  half price plus booking fee.  The line up's only available on the day of sale, so it's a bit of a lucky-dip, but worth the trip to the Melbourne Town Hall to find out.  You can also check out their website, but it's sometimes not quite 100% correct.  If your accommodation is in the Melbourne CBD it's not hard to find their outlet - it's just to the left of the Town Hall - look for this sign.

And The Wheel Spins Round and Round




It's a balmy night. Wander along the Yarra river from Federation Square, look back at the city and see her shimmy. Jump on the Ferris Wheel as it spins round and round. All is well with the world.
