Contents
Moomba is on again. This year there is an emphasis on the Yarra and on kids. Details at Moomba Festival.
This weekend is the Grand Prix, so time to gather up either your Ferrari caps or your yellow ribbons and head down to Albert Park. If you don't have an ongoing love affair with motor racing or an enduring vendetta against Jeff, you can always head to the country (see below).
Zoo Twilights and zoo-be-cues end this weekend until next summer. Details at Melbourne Zoo.
Tons of country festivals this weekend. The Port Fairy Folk Festival has long been booked out, but you could try the Buskers Festival at Hanging Rock or jazz at Inverloch or Yallourn. For food & wine there are festivals at Avoca, Harcourt (if you like apples) and Thorpdale (if you like spuds). There are arts festivals at Shepparton, Cobden & Mildura and community festivals at Edenhope, Swan Hill, Myrtleford, Violet Town, Yarra Glen and San Remo. There are heritage festivals at Mornington and Wedderburn. And for those of you getting the hang of flower festivals there is a Dahlia Festival at Portland - you can start practising now. Details on all these festivals at Events in Victoria.
Avril Levigne is coming to Melbourne. You can book tickets through our website.
Complimentary champagne on arrival for this floortalk and forum by artists involved in the project. Details at Forums in Melbourne.
A little advice for couples out there. It is often difficult to find activities that you both enjoy. This week we suggest you both compromise a little. He will agree to go to the Australian Doll & Teddybear Show with her, if she will agree to go to the Hookers & Deviates Ball with him. Or maybe it's the other way around. Anyway Teddy Bear information is at Craft Festivals in Melbourne, and we can send you Hookers & Deviates information in a plain brown paper envelope or you can book on (03) 9486 9900

TOURISM NEWS
Qantas In Flight Magazine chooses
White Hat
Cemetery Tour as its featured Australian tour for May
There are many fine historical tours
throughout Australia including cemetery tours. From these, the
prestigious Qantas In Flight Magazine has chosen the White Hat Tour
of Melbourne Cemetery as its featured Australian tour for the May
2007 edition. This tour was also featured by ABC radio on 24 May and
will feature in a documentary series on Burke and Wills to be shown
on European television in 2008. The tour has been operating for many years and has won
praise from a wide range of sources. This is not a dry and stuffy
tour but in keeping with all White Hat offerings it is Informed,
Intelligent, Independent (and occasionally) Irreverent. You can find
details of the tour at White
Hat Tour of Melbourne Cemetery and view the article at
Qantas In Flight Magazine. |
