Collingwood Children's Farm

Reviewed By Janelizabeth56 - Nelson, New Zealand

We have visited here twice with our wee granddaughter and have thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The small farm is beautifully set out without being overly formal. The barn experiences (cow milking and brushing, holding Guinea pigs) were lovely especially for the pre--schoolers.We travelled by train from Northcote and then had a small walk to the farm. Hope to come another time to this delightful children's farm.

I found this very small market to contain a surprising large pieces of work that interested me. I enjoyed couple of hours wondering around and looking at the original art made by the stall owner (mostly). There was a good variety of different type of arts and it is definitely worth seeing when you are around.

Fitzroy, Victoria

Reviewed By chrishelcoombe - Adelaide, Australia

We parked our car at the top of Brunswick Street and worked our way down. A myriad of funky shops awaited us with quirky architecture that lost no appeal despite crying out for renovation! Every type of shop you would want; the op shop in particular caught our eye. Allow plenty of time to be enthralled.

Edinburgh Gardens

Reviewed By MJH35MGN - Canberra, Australia

Two kids Playgrounds, a skate park, a basketball park, a large area to socialise dogs and many, many green lawned areas to hang. It's what a park should be.

Reviewed By Alys-Schatzi - Melbourne, Australia

I love the fact that Melbourne has this active, high standard printmaking workshop with attached gallery space. You can do courses here, attend openings of Exhibitions, browse the prints for sale, and get a sense of the different types and techniques of print making. I recommend keeping track of the workshop's coming Exhibitions and making this place part of your repertoire if you live in Melbourne or visit the city once in a while.
Visitors seeking an Australian-themed gift or momento may find something here: quite a few of the artists reference local flora and fauna, landscape and cityscapes.
