Went with a group of friends to the Fitzroy location and played the 4 rooms in one night!! It was great to see 4 rooms incorporating with each other, yet all different in their own way. Had a great time there, the game master we had was fantastic! :) Grim Finale was a highlight. Highly recommend!!

St Ignatius Church is an awe-inspiring building, one of the largest churches in Victoria outside of the Melbourne CBD. Due to Richmond's relative poverty in days gone by, it took many years to complete St Ignatius. The church is built in Gothic Revival style. The main building material is bluestone, the material favored by 19C institutional architects. St Ignatius is in Church St, Richmond's highest point. The stained glass is magnificent. The church is named for St Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, better known as the Jesuits. The Jesuits built their churches for the ages.

Such a refreshing place to relax and wonder around tucked away within easy access and short walk from public transport. I walked along thw Yarra trail and wondered around through the farm into the main compound. There arw several dining options taking care of varying tastes and budgets which were all very busy. Lentil as Anyhthing serves delicious meals based on an open menu and seasonal produce. Convent Bakery serves delicious bread, pastries, sandwiches etc. and the farm cafe also offer picnic packs. You can wonder around the expansive gardens and relax in this wonderful oasis.

Great suburb for a slow wander down and into some cool little shops mixed in with some great old heritage buildings and a mixture of people and styles..

Collingwood no longer plays AFL matches at Victoria Park, but it's hard to escape the heady days when the Magpies had the game half won if they were on their home ground. There are a number of plaques around the ground; the faithful still visit. Some may lament the end of games at the suburban grounds, but Collingwood's visiting teams are unlikely to.

The biggest cricketing battle of the summer starts on Boxing Day, when Australia traditionally takes on the overseas visitors at the MCG.. For a batsman, facing an express pace bowler hurling a cricket ball at over 100 miles per hour (145 kms/hr) takes some courage. This year, the opponents are Black Caps (New Zealand). No-one doubts their courage, but on the bumpy Australian wickets, they may not quite have tthe right technique. For Australian cricketers, wearing the Baggy Green cap is the highest honour. Australia is on the comeback trail after a rough patch, it's bad luck that the Black Caps that they have caught the Aussies at their best. See a game at the MCG if you can, there's still viewing space to be had.
