Cape Schanck
I love Mornington Peninsula, and Cape Schanck, its southernmost tip, is one of my favourite places for scenic walks.
Holiday in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka felt like an unfinished business after I had cancelled my trip a couple of years ago due to the economic crisis. I finally made it in 2025 and had an amazing time.
Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show 2024
Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show is held every year at the beautiful Carlton Gardens and Royal Exhibition Building. I never used to attend, until three years ago when just about every big event looked good in the aftermath of Covid lockdowns. Since then, it’s become a March favourite and every year, I look forward to the show gardens, floral displays, sculptures, gardening booths and people watching.
Holiday in Morocco
Morocco has always been a must-visit destination for me, and this year I finally got to go on a fast-paced and varied two-week organised trip full of natural and cultural riches.
Perth, the Pinnacles & Rottnest Island
I haven’t been to Western Australia in almost ten years, so I really enjoyed our whirlwind long weekend in and around Perth, visiting old and new places.
Holiday in Cambodia
I finally broke the three year-long dry spell, and travelled overseas for an incredible couple of weeks in Cambodia.
Tasmania East Coast
I spent the Anzac Day long weekend across the Bass Strait, in one of my favourite holiday destinations.
The Australian Garden
The Australian Garden, situated in Cranbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens, must be one of Melbourne’s best kept secrets. It’s a long way away from the CBD and I wouldn’t think that it’s on the radar of most tourists, unless they come on some kind of organised garden-oriented tour. As for me, I’ve been driving past it pretty much every year on the way to Phillip Island, thinking that we should really make an effort to see it one day. After finally visiting last year, we were impressed enough to come back for another stroll.
The Australian Garden is all about celebrating the native Australian plants and landscapes, with plenty of photo opportunities. It doesn’t waste time and sets out to impress just as you walk in, with its most spectacular Red Sand Garden. Just like the last time, I wished I had a jet pack to get an aerial view of this stunning spot.
This is no pretty manicured garden, but it blends nature, art and architecture in its own unique and beautiful way, with exhibition gardens, waterways and imaginative displays inspired by the natural cycles. It was wonderful to visit again on a Sunday morning, before it became too hot and crowded.
