1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: Get a I'm Laala Berry, nutritionist, author, actor, TV presenter 2 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: and professional oversharer. This podcast is all about celebrating failure 3 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: because I believe it's a chance for us to learn, 4 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: grow and face our blind spots. Each week I'll interview 5 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: a different guest about their highs as well as they're lows, 6 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: all in a bid to inspire us to fearlessly fail. Hello, 7 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: this is a Melbourne travel guide. This is the last 8 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: of a three part travel guide series. And I thought 9 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: Malves It's where I'm from, It's what I know. Really well, 10 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: it's going to be a bit Victoria too, because Boss 11 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: and I lived in Talkie for a little while over Lockdown. 12 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: So let's kick in. First of all, after doing a 13 00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: little bit of research, did you know that Malves is 14 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: named Australia's most Liverpool city? Did not know that? Although 15 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: it kind of tracks if you think about everything that 16 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: Melbourne has to offer, which we will talk about in 17 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: today's episode. It is on the Global Livability Index in 18 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, rated tenth. However are pre COVID so 19 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen it was rated number two, so second in 20 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: the world. So Melbourne's obviously got a lot to offer. 21 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: Let's think about it, food, nightlife, the arts, the sports, 22 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: The public transport system is really good. There's a sense 23 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: of real sense of community in Melbourne and it's easy 24 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: to feel like you're part of that. As a Melbourneite 25 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: that has lived in Sydney as well, I think I 26 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: did about six or seven years living in SIDS. They're 27 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: vastly different and there is this like Melbourne versus Sydney mentality. 28 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: I don't think one is better than the other, but 29 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: they have very different I always felt like Sydney was 30 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: where I could get stuff done and really focus on 31 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: my career, whereas Melbourne does have that real community kind 32 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: of vibe. And there was a study done that I'd 33 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: found this study that said that people from Melbourne are 34 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: usually friendlier than people from Sydney, which obviously is just like, 35 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: you know, each to their own, but it is interesting 36 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: that Sydney is like a business go getting like I 37 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: used to call Sidney baby La and I can see why, 38 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: because it's like you go there to get stuff done, 39 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: you go there to move forward in your career. So 40 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: they both have their benefits. But this is a Melbourne episode. Also, 41 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: a Melbourne rated more affordable than Sid's which is probably 42 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: not surprising to anybody. So same rules as the last 43 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: time in that if I tell you about something, I 44 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: want to have experienced it. That said, I have enlisted 45 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: the help of two friends. Well, one friend being my 46 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: dad because he loves Talkie and it was his place 47 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: we were staying in over Lockdown in Talkie and the 48 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: other so there's a little bit of a talkie twang, 49 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: great ocean road twang to this. And the other friend 50 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: is my incredible mate Bill Bezos, who's been on the 51 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: show already. I should find out what is for you. 52 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: But he is one of the creators of one of 53 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: the high up people of skip app, and so he 54 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: I called him. I was like, where's the best where's 55 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: the best stuff for food? Where's the best stuff for coffee? 56 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: So I have enlisted some help for this one, but 57 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: I am gonna shoe you my own personal experience as well.

I've seen heaps of influences post about 170 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: that and the Yarra Botannica which is near there, near 171 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: one another. And then he's saying if people want a 172 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: night out, he's written, not written, I've written this in 173 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: our conversation Electric No, I can't read my oone handwriting. 174 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: I knew this had happened, but he said to go 175 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: on Wednesday or Thursday night be Electrica Electric late. I 176 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: don't know, but there's that's for a night out, okay, 177 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: And I go, what do you love about Melbourne and 178 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: he's like, I love the buzz, I love that the 179 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: city comes to life. I love that there's a night life, 180 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: but it still feels really safe, and so I said, 181 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: if you could tell someone to have an experience in 182 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: Melbourne like none other, he was like, get a boat 183 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: and go out on the Yarra's you get it for 184 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: two hours. You can take your own booze, you can 185 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: take your own snacks. And he's like, it's a really 186 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: fun way to experience Melbourne. I didn't even know you 187 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: could do that, and you just hire it for two 188 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: hours with a bunch of mates. Also, of course, like 189 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: Melbourne is known for, the tennis is on right now, 190 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: the footy mcg there's also like comedy clubs, theater incredible 191 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: and also like if you're staying saying some Kilda or 192 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: Brunswick or Richmond or in the CBD, the public transport 193 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: system in Melbourne is incredible. Like you just yes, you 194 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: have to get a Mikey card, but you just jump 195 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: on a tram, tap on, tap off. Even when I 196 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: was there last time, I really wanted to see the 197 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: Christmas Maya windows. Dad had a spare Mikey, jumped on it, 198 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: jumped on the tram, jumped on a tram back home, 199 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: like it is nice. Like parking in the city in 200 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: Melbourne is stressful. I think, and so it's the public 201 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: transport is great. I just get a bit like COVID 202 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: nervous still, so I wear a mask on one of 203 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: those goobers, okay. And so Bill has made a separate 204 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: coffee list for me, separate to what I said with 205 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: number nineteen. So he said Norman Locked letters for coffee 206 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: and bagels, journey Man, which we've said, New Order in 207 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: Paran really good for coffee. So these are all places 208 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: that he's like, really really loves. Now I enlisted as 209 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: well the help of my dad, right because we spent 210 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: I said to Dad, we spent so much time in 211 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: Talkie and it was so great. So first of all, 212 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: if you have family in Melbourne and you're like, we 213 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: want to see the fan, but then we want a 214 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: little bit of a holiday, get an airbnb down in Talkie. 215 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: So Talkie is only twenty minutes out of Geelong. It's 216 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: the beginning of the Great Ocean Roads. You could do 217 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: from talk you could drive to the Twelve Apostles, you 218 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: could see London Bridge. These are all like some of 219 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: the famous sites of Great Ocean Road. But also if 220 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, now we'll do a beach thing one day, 221 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: but then we want hinterland. You've got the Otway Rangers, 222 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: which is so beautiful. I've filmed there before and it's 223 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: just like so so so stunning. Victoria is beautiful. And 224 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: also remember you've got breweries, You've got wineries, Like, there 225 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: is so much to explore, so much to discover. So 226 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: I think if you're thinking about going to Melbourne for 227 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: extended period time and you're like, Okay, I want to 228 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: experience something something else, of course you could do the 229 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: Arrow Valley and do a beautiful hot air balloon right 230 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: over at the vineyards, which actually did for Dad one 231 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: birthday for him. But there is so much to explore. 232 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: So we lived there for ten months. I was meant 233 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: to go to America and activate my green card, and 234 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: all the flights were getting canceled. It was like the 235 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: very beginning of COVID, And I said to Dad, I go, 236 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. I'd been spending a 237 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: couple months at his place before I knew I was 238 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: flying to LA to like set up a new life, 239 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know what to do us, 240 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: Like the flights are canceled, Like I can't get out 241 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: of the country right now. And he's like, just take 242 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: a weekend back down to talks and I was like okay. 243 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: Ten months later, I didn't leave for ten months, so 244 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: we got to know Talkie really well. Like there's great 245 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: yog's there. It was called yok Yoga when I was there, 246 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: but I think it's been changed to another name. It's 247 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: the exact same location. I feel like it's like good 248 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: vibes or something like that, or feel good or feel anyway. 249 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: There's only one yoga sture you that I'm aware of 250 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: in Talkie, or was when I was there. But this 251 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: is a guide on food and coffee. So our favorite 252 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: coffee that where you could find in Talkie Boss and 253 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: I was Ocean Grind and Micro. Now Micro is a 254 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: bit more like you're duck in. You can sit outside, 255 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: but you duck in, you get takeaway and you keep 256 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: going on your merry way. Where is Ocean Grind you 257 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: can sit in. It's a real vibe. You're literally sitting 258 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: in where they grind all the coffee and everything. The 259 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: coffee is so good. We would have little because it 260 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: was really cold in the winter there. That's what I'm 261 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: thinking about Melbourn. It does get cold, but we would 262 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: have little like coffee dates there and I was like 263 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: the best, and when things were all in lockdown, it 264 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: was so nice to be able to get a coffee 265 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: and have a coffee date. And we'd even like when 266 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: it was like full blown lockdown, just sit in the 267 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: car and have a coffee date because you couldn't sit 268 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: in anyway. Ocean Grind delicious, lovely people as well, but 269 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: that's more coffee as opposed to meals. Same with micro 270 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: that is definitely and it's spelled m I k ro 271 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: so not see loads of food options when it comes 272 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: to talks. Dad's made me a massive list, but I'm 273 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: going to go through stuff that Matt and I love 274 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: first because we got good taste buds, all right, not 275 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: saying Dad doesn't, but Dad loves everything, Okay, Really good 276 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: tacos at a place called Fisho's on the beach, really fresh, 277 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: really delicious, and he can get takeaway and then just 278 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: go sit on the beach. So nice. Salty Dog Dad 279 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: put on this list. The reason why Salty Dog is 280 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: so good. It's on the beach in talkie and you 281 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: can take your dog like it's a cafe, a dog 282 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: friendly cafe. It also has a bar that you can 283 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: go to it in the arbos or nighttime as well. 284 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: Talkie Merchant is really cool. It's like a concept shop 285 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: that is like super cool vibes, like has all these 286 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: like whimsical clothing brands like anem and it just feels amazing. 287 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: There's like cool smudgsticks, cool books, cool jewelry, really cool. 288 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: And then at the front is like a little coffee 289 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: shop where you can get snacked and they have really 290 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: yummy like baked goods all that kind of stuff, really 291 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: cool vibe. And the steadic is great. It's like all 292 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: that blush pink color. It really feels very Instagram friendly. 293 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: When we were there, they were setting up a smoothy 294 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: truck out the back as well, so that's probably happened 295 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: because we were there two years ago. Dad's written here 296 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: Talkie Larder. So that's really good for like coffee and 297 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: little grab and go little snacks like you know, a 298 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: peninni on the panini on the go or like a 299 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: carrot cake on the go. Coffee wise, I loved though 300 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: Ocean Grind and Micro for coffee. But Dad, this is 301 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: made Dad's list. Dad loves Pond that's another little cafe 302 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: that is on the beach. I haven't had it, but 303 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: I've seen Dad habit. The porridge there looks incredible. Ginger 304 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: Monkey is really good, really extensive, humongous menu and everything's 305 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: really good, really good banana bread, really good fruit loaf, 306 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: really good porridge, and it's big, like so you can 307 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: sit in or you can sit outside. Like it's a 308 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: good little vibe, and I think they had like taco 309 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: nights and just a cool vibe. I feel like it's 310 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: one of those institutions that's been there for ages. Talkie 311 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: Whole Foods is really good. If you're a health nerd 312 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: like me. It's literally a health food shop, but you 313 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: can get smoothies and kind of like menu items and 314 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: you can sit down and it's cool, and then you 315 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: can do like your health food shop and it's got 316 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: all organic fruit and veg there too. There's a new 317 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: place that's opened that hasn't been there when Boss and 318 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: I were it. It's just called Bowls, and Dad loves 319 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: it because he can get like a green smoothie bowl 320 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: or an Asayi bowl, or like a macro bowl with 321 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: like a big vibe of like salads and all that 322 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: kind of thing in it so as you can see, 323 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: he's mentioned a few others that I haven't heard of before. 324 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: Squire's Loft. I feel like that's a chain where you 325 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: can get steaks and stuff, but I could be totally wrong. 326 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: There's another cafe called Doctor Hughes and Front Beach Cafe 327 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: and ill Matto. That's he's added to his le Dad is, 328 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: I will say to his testament. He is one of 329 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: those people that will be like, oh yeah, and he'll 330 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: just like try new places. So I caught him up 331 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: and I was like, can you give me a list 332 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: of what your favorite places in Turki. The other like 333 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: cool thing about Melbourne is like it is a very 334 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: and this is probably why it gets voted the most Liverpool. 335 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: It is an easy city. Like I spent so many 336 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: years living there. I lived all over, like I lived 337 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: on my own, I lived east, I live west, I 338 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: live like Southside. Like it's a really good city. Like 339 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: I've lived obviously with Dad in Aurscott Vale. I've lived 340 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: in Elwood, Albert Park, Southierra. That was my first one 341 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: I moved out of home I lived. I still remember 342 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: my little apartment on Darling Street in South Era. That 343 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: was so cool living in Southierra and that that close 344 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: to the Yra so I could go running on the 345 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: hour in the morning. I remember I worked at Priyan 346 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: Health Food. That's an amazing health food store in Malbow 347 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: if you want to go to health food store, and 348 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: I could walk to Paran Health Food. It was just 349 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: such a great little location for that chunk of my life. 350 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: Another thing that that has sparked in me that markets 351 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: in Melbourne are really good. So yes, there are farmers' markets, 352 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: much like here in Byron Bay, and they're usually on 353 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: every weekend, like every Saturday in like the Gas what 354 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: they're in different parks like gas where it's parking Ourwart Park, 355 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: or you've got some incant Kilda. You've got an amazing 356 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: one at the Collingwood Children's Farm. But also you've got 357 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: like the South Malbourne Market, the Queen Big Market, the 358 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: Paran Market and if you ever go on a Sunday 359 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: afternoon before they shut, everything is so cheap, like it's 360 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: literally like being a market where people are yelling out 361 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, hey, this is da da da da dada, 362 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: Like it's really cool. And I remember at Paran Market 363 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: you would just get a box and you could put 364 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: in whatever you wanted and you'd pay like ten bucks 365 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: a box at the end of the day. So that 366 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: is a cool hack if you're living in Melbourne and 367 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: you want really great access to fresh, awesome food. And 368 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: you did hear me just mention Collingwood Children's Farm. It's 369 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: actually such a wonderful place to visits, next to all 370 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: the Collingwood Convent and it's actually where I did my 371 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: work experience because I wanted to be zoologist. I wanted 372 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: to follow in the footsteps of Dad who's a vet 373 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: and so that was kind of the closest thing I 374 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: got knocked back from Melbourne Zoo to do my work 375 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: experience there and I ended up doing it at this 376 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: incredible farm. So it's a farm where you probably if 377 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: you're in Melbourne, you've heard about it, but you can 378 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,719 Speaker 1: just like walk through and see the horses, the sheep, 379 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: the piggies, the goats. But I did my full blown 380 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: work experience there, so I was like feeding the pigs 381 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: and helping with the lambs and it was so cool. 382 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: It's such a great if you've got a young fam 383 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: and you want them to get used to animals and 384 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: see animals, it's such a great thing to spend a 385 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: day doing and they do awesome farmers' markets there once 386 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: a month two with just like such great produce. And 387 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: that's what I loved about living in Melbourne. I that's 388 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: one thing I thought about living in Malo when versus Sydney. 389 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: I thought for like cost, the cost of food, and 390 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: the farmer's markets in Melbourne I just thought were like 391 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: the best thing. And even though I love going to 392 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: the Bondai ones and whatnot, I just which in iconic 393 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: Bondai like beautiful. I thought that I loved the produce 394 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,239 Speaker 1: I could get in melb's And I would say the 395 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: only thing that I would that I love more than 396 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: the Melbourne farmer's markets is the Byron ones. And that's 397 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: only because we've figured out like where the best blueberries 398 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: are from, where the best eggs are from. And you know, 399 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: like I think Melbourne has access to like what It's 400 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: one of those cities wherever you are, whatever you want, 401 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: you can kind of get it. You want a big 402 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: night out, you can get it. You want a Sunday 403 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: recovery session, you can get it. You want to go 404 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: to the theater, you want to go to the ballet, the opera, 405 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: that stuff is there in Melbourne. You want to go 406 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: to an art exhibition, It's all there, Like the National 407 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: Gallery of Victoria is incredible, Like there is so much 408 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,479 Speaker 1: for you to do, and then then there's like awesome 409 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,239 Speaker 1: street art down jose A Lane in the city. Like 410 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: it is a very vibrant city with a lot to do, 411 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: and it feels very rich in culture as well, Like 412 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: you can eat all different kinds of cuisines. You can 413 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: have such a like that quintessential Melbourne experience of like 414 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: going to like a bar in the city and then 415 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: going and have like a beautiful meal, but you could 416 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: have a Moroccan meal, or a Turkish meal, or a 417 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: Tellio meal. Like you can get really beautiful, beautiful food 418 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: in Melbourne. And I think that the foodie culture in 419 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: Melbourne is so passionate. Like I've interviewed a couple of 420 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: chefs Shane Dahlia and this episode hasn't come out yet, 421 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: but Toby Paddick, and they're just so Melbourne and Melbourne 422 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: like they've got this, both of them have got this, 423 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: like unapologetically this is who I am. I'm a keel cat, 424 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: but I don't really know it, you know what I mean? 425 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: And I just think that there is that really nice 426 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: like food culture there for sure, and coffee, Like I 427 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: know I've said this before, but in America you can't 428 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: get along Black. So I'm like, any chance I get 429 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: to go out for a coffee now, I'm like, I'm 430 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: getting along Black. And even in Byron Bay, like to 431 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: be completely flat out with you, like you have to 432 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: hunt out the really great coffee spots if you want 433 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: a really beautiful coffee, because often a couple of brands 434 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: dominate that aren't from Byron Bay, Like, aren't local roasters 435 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: that dominate a lot of the cafes here and Byron 436 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: That doesn't happen in Melbourne. Like you can go to 437 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: coffee shops and it's often the roast their own beans there. 438 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: And you know you can get that in Sydney as well. 439 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: But I think that like Melbourne dominates food and coffee 440 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: all over the I would say like the country as well, 441 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, La, I'm like the food 442 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: and coffee in Melbourne really takes the cake. I think 443 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: the cult like their arts and stuff, like there is 444 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: like literally theater and comedy and movies and all that 445 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: kind of stuff and beautiful theaters in la on every 446 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: single night of the week. But like the food and 447 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,239 Speaker 1: the coffee is just hard to beat. And then if 448 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: you're a sports fanatic like my dad is and therefore 449 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: we've been raised that way. Again, so good in Melbourne. 450 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: And then you've got this like you drive out and 451 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: you've got this access to like beautiful nature and the 452 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: beaches and the hinterland and farmland and yeah, really nice. 453 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: It is interesting though that my brother and I were raised, 454 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: born and bred Melbourne. All our primary school in Melbourne, 455 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: all our high school in Melbourne. You know, did the 456 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: Aussie family middle class thing of doing holidays in Bali 457 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: and stuff like that and holiday Tasmania. But like both 458 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: of us have ended up like my brother has lived 459 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: in Perth for a fair while now and I'm half 460 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: Byer and half Los Angeles. It's very funny that we, 461 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: although it's Melbourne is such a great city, both of 462 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: us have ended up in much warmer climates. I would 463 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: say the weather is the only thing that I found 464 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: tricky in the winters. I just I would get terrible, 465 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: like XMA. I don't know if it's the wind in 466 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: Melbourne or the pollens and stuff. Being my Hafeva my exma. 467 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: All that stuff was harder in Mels and it's interesting 468 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: that both me and my bro in much warmer climates. 469 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: But yes, that's your Melbourne list, of course. Big thank 470 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: you to Dad and Bill for helping me with that list, 471 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: because I find I'm a creature of habit. When I 472 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: go to Malbs, I kind of do the same things 473 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: because you're in the same areas, of course. So yeah, 474 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: I hope you loved it. Next week will be the 475 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: launch of the Fertility Special, which I hope you love. 476 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: It is very raw and honest and just my experience 477 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: of going through one round of IVF two freeze embryos 478 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,959 Speaker 1: and what that entailed and what obviously every single experience 479 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: is completely different.
