Postcards on Channel 9 and 9Now S27E22 – The Postcards team welcome guest presenter Ellie Cole as she takes viewers to her favourite hometown places in Melbourne this Sunday at 5.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Paralympian Ellie Cole begins her day in the CBD (Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country) at Palace Coffee, a dynamic, architecturally designed espresso bar serving excellent coffee and canelés. Next she visits The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia at Federation Square for its major new exhibition celebrating Australian-born, Paris-based fashion designer Martin Grant. Ellie wraps up her day on Flinders Lane with a meal at Hazel, an Australian grill located in the historic Richard Allen building that’s all about fire, smoke and seasonality.
Kris Smith is also in the Melbourne CBD, but the west side. We meet him at the Victoria Police Museum, a free-to-enter collection that tells the history of the state police force. Walking west down Spencer Street he comes to B.Cuz Coffee & Eatery, an unassuming neighbourhood cafe specialising in Vietnamese flavours. Kris then tries out the Embassy Cafe, a 24-hour joint that’s been serving burgers in the same family ownership since 1964. He calls it a day at Foglia di Fico, a cosy Italian trattoria that will warm your heart and your belly.
Madeline Spark explores the dynamic cultural hub of the Whitehorse Council area (Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country) in Melbourne’s east, which has a long history of championing the arts.
In Box Hill she discovers the Whitehorse Artspace, an intimate gallery in the magnificent Town Hall that showcases leading contemporary artists. At the Community Arts Centre, she sees where visitors can create their own art at pottery classes and workshops. Madeline then heads to The Round in Nunawading, a state-of-the-art performing arts centre that hosts some of Australia’s biggest names in music and theatre. She finishes up in Vermont South at Morack Public Golf, a recently revamped multi-attraction with an 18-hole course, mini-golf, and a 28-bay driving range where you can order food and drinks to your bay.
And Brodie Harper is driving to the Mornington Peninsula (Bunurong Country) to prove it’s geared up for good times year-round, rain, hail or shine. At A Good Little Thing in Tootgarook she finds a cosy neighbourhood cafe that’s a hub of connection and community, with delicious and wholesome food. In Boneo she recharges at Azure on Panorama, a private sanctuary and spa offering a unique wellness experience in a beautiful garden setting. Brodie rounds out her day at The Bodega, a wine bar in Dromana, a gorgeous beachside spot offering over 200 wines, tastings and a Mediterranean-inspired menu.
