Postcards on Channel 9 and 9Now S27E32 – This week the Postcards team revisit some of their favourite spots this year, Sunday at 2.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
With The Block calling Daylesford (Dja Dja Wurrung Country) home this year, guest presenter Shelley Craft explores some of her favourite places in town. She starts with brunch at Cliffy’s Emporium, a local treasure on Raglan Street that’s been serving the community since the 1950s with warming meals and shelves full of local produce.
From there it’s off to visit one of the region’s most significant properties, Wombat Park Estate, a private residence dating back to the 1850s that opens its magical historic gardens to the public at different times during the year. Shelley wraps up her tour at The Farmer’s Arms Hotel, where you can choose from a menu full of classic and modern dishes at the oldest pub in Daylesford.
We find Brodie Harper in funky Brunswick (Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country), venturing off Sydney Road to discover hidden gems along the Upfield Shared Path.
Like Osoi, a cosy, Japanese-inspired space off Albion Street designed for patrons to slow down and enjoy the hand-whisked match as and homemade chai. A hundred metres up the path, Studio Arthouse Gallery Australia (SAGA) awaits on Tinning Street, an artist-run gallery, event space and studio hub that’s a testament to Brunswick’s creative spirit. Brodie wraps up her tour at Nina’s Bar and Dining on Florence Street, a restaurant focused on bringing the community together with seasonal, local ingredients and sustainable practices.
9News Finance Editor Chris Kohler swaps money news for news about Footscray (Bunurong Country and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country), a suburb known for its trendy cafes, community-led art scene and multicultural food. He first visits Dumbo, a milkbar-turned-cafe with an ever-changing global menu. Next he’s off to The Chestnut Tree on Barkly Street, a bookshop offering a caffeine fix and a quiet haven for book lovers and families. Chris then immerses himself in the flavours of Argentina at Caminito La Boca, a family-style canteen serving traditional Argentinian food.
Livinia Nixon experiences two forms of French artistry in Melbourne (Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country), admiring both paintings and pastries.
She kicks off her day at the NGV for the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition, French Impressionism, which is finishing up on October 5. It is one of the biggest exhibitions of its kind to ever visit Australia, with over 100 paintings from artists like Monet and Renoir on exclusive loan from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts.
Livinia rounds out her French-themed day with a visit to Lune Croissanterie on Russell Street, a ten-minute walk from the gallery, which is known for making some of the best croissants in the world and has people queuing down the street for its classic and creative monthly specials.
