Lauren Phillips enjoys a tail-wagging day out in Port Melbourne (Bunurong Country) with her four-legged friend Ted, uncovering the suburb’s dog-friendly spots including the local dog beach and Caffe Di Lido, a laidback beachside café known for its early openings, bayside charm and puppychinos. A few blocks inland, Lauren finds The Rouse Eatery, a family-run, dog friendly gem serving wholesome brunch dishes with sunny outdoor seating perfect for people-watching. She wraps up at Paint for Fun, where Ted joins the creative action at a paint-your-pet class.
Livinia Nixon explores the solemn beauty and historical significance of The Shrine of Remembrance (Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country) with author and broadcaster Steve Vizard.
They reflect on the enduring legacy of Gallipoli while touring the Gallipoli Gallery and they pause at The Sanctuary, the Shrine’s most sacred space, to honour all who have served. The day winds down at Otello Espresso, a tucked-away café in South Yarra where they chat over coffee and discuss Steve’s latest book, Nation Memory Myth – Gallipoli and the Australian Imaginary.
Meanwhile guest presenters and Travel Guides favourites, Kevin and Janetta, spend the day in Castlemaine (Dja Dja Wurrung Country), revealing its unique charm one bite and sip at a time.

Next they wander through Hargraves Street to Castlemaine Fresh, where local produce and community spirit are on proud display. Their culinary adventure continues at Voor Ouker, a stylish new eatery inspired by Dutch and Indonesian cuisines, and to cap off their visit, Kevin and Janetta drop into Mostyn Street Cellars, a cosy new wine bar where good drinks and conversation flow with ease.
