Recently the weather finally cleared up, so we went to Yan Yean Reservoir Park on the weekend. Yan Yean Reservoir Park Victoria is less than an hour from the city. We didn’t have very high expectations at first, but we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Yan Yean Reservoir Park Victoria A huge grassy slope […]
Sassafras Village
Recently the weather hasn’t been cooperating, with continuous rainy days, so we wanted to go for a walk somewhere nearby. We put Sassafras Village onto the itinerary at the last minute.Coming here with expectations of scones, it really felt like stepping into a fairytale book! About a 1-hour drive from Melbourne CBD, in the forests […]
Best Airbnb near Campbelltown
Last week I stayed at a place that’s really very hard to describe! Sydney drive one hour, at the Campbelltown side near a koala small town hidden inside a forest, the whole Airbnb is just one section of a hundred-year old modified train carriage! Yes it’s just really a train carriage, not that kind of […]

Daybaker Reviews
Waited for more than half a year! The new shop opened by Charlie, the pastry chef from the original Small Batch, is finally officially open. Since I don’t live in the city I’ve never tried Small Batch before, but Daybaker opened and I found out it’s only a 10-minute drive from my place. Someone like […]

George Bass Coastal Walk is truely the ultimate Melbourne hiking experience! I’d heard a lot about this popular hiking route, so we brought the whole family along for the challenge. […]
Wilson Reserve Playground Ivanhoe
If it wasn’t for a colleague recommending it, I would never have known there was such a unique playground slide just 15 minutes from Box Hill. The first thing I thought when I saw this 20-metre-plus metal slide was, it’s so high and so long! Then I started wondering if it might be a bit […]
QueenSt.BB reviews
Highly recommend the tiramisu here, the staff are mostly Korean, and the place is called QueenSt.BB. It’s right near Queen Victoria Market. The tiramisu is sold by weight and you pack your own box. We tried around five or six flavors — matcha was the best. The vanilla one was nice too. The caramel biscuit, […]
Sydney’s Newly Opened Japanese Tea Room Social Butterfly Tea
On social media, I came across this newly opened cafe several times. It completely grew on my aesthetic point. So on an afternoon with nothing to do, I brought a book and went there. Before going, I actually saw some bad reviews like waiting a long time for a seat, need to take off shoes […]
