“Colling-wood…Colling-wood… Colling-wood…” The atmosphere is euphoric, and the crowd is pumping.  The Pies lead by 6 goals deep in the third quarter. It's been scrappy, but it's great to have footy back at the 'G. Melbourne is back…well, the traffic certainly is…as it was gridlock on Punt Road trying to get the ground. So maybe it was easier to sit back watching Fox Footy instead sitting high in the sky in the Ponsford Stand with ...

Fed Square is bursting at the seams with green and gold Socceroo fans. Flares are flying in all directions, and police are battling to contain the surging crowds, but for the most part, the focus is on the big screen beaming football from Qatar.  The excitement for this game has been building for days. Melbourne is pumping, and the jubilation of the Socceroos advancing this far in the World Cup is thrilling. Finally, after the ...

Every. Single. Year. Or so it seems. The West Gate Bridge outbound is shut down to one lane after Boxing Day. So the traffic snarl starts long before the bridge out on the Monash before the Burnley Tunnel.  Bumper to bumper, no matter how early you hit the road on the 27th, it's always the same horrendous experience.  The sun dances across the dashboard; finally, Spotify is not trying to sell you something for Christmas. ...

Ham. Prawns. Oysters.  Hold on, does your mother-in-law eat oysters? Your sister is bringing her new partner. Why does Coles keep running out of glacée cherries? Hold on, is it going to boiling hot on Christmas Day or a washout? Who is going to Queen Vic on the 24th to get the seafood? Maybe it is easier to get it locally? Your mind is spinning. It’s a stressful time. We have all awakened from a ...

You know there has never been a better time to work remotely. Think about it for a moment. Imagine a pandemic had rocked Melbourne in the early 2000s. Back when we used dial-up internet, mobile phones were the size of a brick and your work was done at your desk. And probably with a desktop computer chained to the floor. Let's not forget we were still sending faxes… Now, let's say your boss made the ...

Tripadvisor. Google Reviews. Facebook. OpenTable. Compare the Meerkats. From booking a restaurant to a holiday and buying a new TV, you have more content to sift through at your fingertips to make a buying decision.  It's easy to make informed decisions on your next meal, trip or flick. But with so many reviews, opinions and guides, how do you know what to trust? For example, choosing between a restaurant in Flinders Lane versus riverside dining ...

"There." You reach back and hand your 5-year-old daughter your iPhone. "Listen, just put on ABC Kids and watch Bluey…so I can…concentrate…this traffic is horrendous." The local council had filled the potholes, only for them to fall apart again. But truthfully, the roads are hidden obstacle courses currently. And peak hour is your new nightmare with traffic back to pre-pandemic levels.  Just navigating in the wild, wet weather and bumper-to-bumper crawl along Dandenong Road, you ...

"C'mon, let's go into the City for the day…" Those words rang in your ears as you watched your mother shuffle along the queue. She was slowly moving the trays forward. The china plates rattle as if they are destined to smash. And the smell of lunch drifting through the air. The mouth-watering food selection...roast of the day, sandwiches and cakes.  And the highlight was a frog in the pond. Red jelly, of course.  The ...
