The idea of going on holiday and lounging pool side for days on end does not appeal to me. Hey, don’t get me wrong, I’m as much of a sloth as the next guy, but seriously, lying on some rickety outdoor sun bed, trying to pretend like you’re not cold or bored? Give me a break. Suffice to say, it was with some trepidation and skepticism that I approached our recent trip to the Penninsula Hot Springs in sunny Mornington.
Get in touch with your medieval roots this weekend at the Collingwood Children’s Farm Winter Solstice.
Five months ago, the idea of the Tote ever reopening its doors seemed as likely as Bon Scott singing on the next ACKA record. However, through some miraculous turn of events, the iconic venue is set to defy the odds and dust off the taps this month for a grand reopening.

Brain Children are a fascinating musical proposition. Brain Children is the brain child of Michael Mate and Maxwell Crumb, two Melbourne music veterans who’ve completely ruined their lives by relentlessly peddling their musical wares across the globe. Indeed, these young men have spent the majority of their youths and adulthoods on tour, cutting their teeth on bad roads, sticky floors and ramshackle stages. These years of extended poverty have created a degree of musical knowhow and a lack of pretense that certainly sets them apart from their bovine contemporaries.
Occasionally you discover an eatery that perfectly captures the way you like to dine. For me, Pellegrini’s is that place. Family owned and operated, Pellegrini’s knocks out outstanding homemade Italian food at comparatively rock-bottom prices. A staple of the melbourne dining scene, Pellegrini’s has occupied number 66 Bourke street for over 50 years, and as the antiquated decor would suggest, very little has changed in those five or so decades.
