Terrace House: Boys and Girls in the City was first released in Japan and had its run from 2 September 2015 to 27 September 2016. There is an older season that was produced and premiered on Fuji TV, but this season was the first time it was picked up by Netflix. From what I can gather, […]
Alowyn Gardens – Yarra Glen, Melbourne, Victoria – 12 May 2019 – a large symmetrical garden that would be great for a wedding
The Yarra Valley is far from Melbourne’s CBD. There are plenty of vineyards and wine cellars out in this rural part of Melbourne. In addition, there are are also incredibly large gardens, wildlife and sights to see. We were lucky to visit during a season when there was still a lot of lush greenery around […]

Glen Waverley’s Kowloon Cafe opened near the start of 2021.
