JOHANNA + PETE – A VIEW OF MARRICKVILLE
When buying or renting a property, there a number of things to consider about the property itself, but also about the surrounding area where it’s situated. You’re not just choosing a home, but a neighbourhood and a lifestyle. After many years of exploring amazing homes, Johanna and Pete are scaling up to whole suburbs. Tonight, they’re hitting up the historic Sydney suburb of Marrickville, to give you the lowdown on the pros and cons of this cool and vibey area.
ADAM – UPDATE YOUR TOOLS, IT’S TAX TIME
If you’re a DIY enthusiast, your garage is like your command centre. But when it becomes cluttered and disorganised there won’t be much commanding going on, so tonight, Adam revamps a garage that’s fallen into this exact state. After a thorough clear out, Adam updates the ageing tools and builds the perfect workbench, that’s super sturdy, yet can be folded out of the way whenever necessary. The update is topped off with some great storage solutions, turning this garage into the command centre it was meant to be.
COLIN – LAMB SAUSAGE ROLLS WITH HARISSA YOGHURT
If an ordinary pork sausage roll isn’t yummy enough for you, Colin’s going to elevate it to a spiced lamb sausage roll with Harissa yoghurt. It sounds good because it is! With herbs and spices and delicious flavours, Colin isn’t just showing you how to make a sausage roll, but an event.
CLARISSA – VERMICELLI, FISH BALL & CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
Winter’s here so let Clarissa warm you up with a bowl of the classic cold-weather food, chicken noodle soup. A good soup starts with a good stock and while store-bought stock is a time-saver, if you do have some time, Clarissa will show you how to make the best stock for this dish. For extra flavour, Clarissa’s adding fish balls, but you can go with any protein you prefer. In this cold weather, this soup is like a warm hug on the inside.
CHARLIE – BANGALOW WALKAROUND
Striking a balance between sophistication, elegance and practicality is a tricky prospect for any garden. Tonight, Charlie visits a home in the hinterland of Byron Bay that has dealt with this exact conundrum. The architecture and colour palette of the building have been complemented by the planting scheme of the garden and with three boys running around, the plants themselves are hardy enough to take whatever balls and games are thrown their way. But this garden isn’t just pretty to look at, there are plenty of clever ideas that you’ll be able to incorporate into your garden too.
MELISSA – SUSAN’S SUCCULENTS BY THE SEA

With a diversity in colour, shape and size, succulents will satisfy all your planting needs. But just growing them isn’t enough, Susan is also a deft hand at creating beautiful pieces of living art using repurposed picture frames and whatever else she can find. If you’re even half the fan of succulents that Melissa is, then this place will make you feel like a kid in a candy store.
