Uniquely Melbourne Melbourne is a one-of-a-kind city with some quirks that are occasionally hard for a visitor to fathom. Here are all the tips and tricks, so you’ll know exactly what the locals are talking about. KEEP YOUR CUP Disposable coffee cups are harmful to the environment, so dine in and enjoy a break. If you must keep walking, invest in one of Melbourne’s very own barista-quality, reusable containers known as KeepCups. Made in a range of funky colours, they make a perfect take-home souvenir. »» keepcup.com ON TRACK Exploring the city? The best way to get around Melbourne is on the easy-to-use public transport system, which includes Melbourne’s iconic trams. They run throughout the inner suburbs and are the perfect way to get your bearings. »» yarratrams.com.au

THE TAN Melbourne has a number of beautiful green spaces, and the Tan is a 3.8km running track that winds its way through some of the best. Popular day and night with locals and visitors, it follows the Yarra River and circles King’s Domain and the Royal Botanic Gardens. The lap record – 10 minutes and 12 seconds – was set by long-distance runner Craig Mottram in 2004. Good luck beating that! »» onlymelbourne.com.au/tan-track AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL If you hear Melburnians talking about Pies and Demons in the same sentence, do not be alarmed. They’re the nicknames of some of the teams competing in the Australian Football League. The season is well underway, and taking in a game is a great way to experience another side of Melbourne. »» afl.com.au

With exclusive discount offers to some of the city’s favourite attractions, travel, event and entertainment guides, and useful tips and information, the Melbourne Official Visitor Guide App is the perfect companion for any visit to Melbourne.

HOOK TURNS Don’t be alarmed. Due to tramlines running down the middle of major city streets, there are some intersections where cars turning right must do so from the left lane. The vehicle remains there until the traffic lights for the road it’s entering turn green, then it carefully executes its turn. This manoeuvre minimises congestion on the roads. Hook turns are rare and not nearly as scary as they sound. »» onlymelbourne.com.au/hook-turns

Life Down the Laneways Lots of Melburnians would like to keep them a secret, but the city’s maze of laneways, alleys and arcades has so much to offer. ART ON THE WALLS When you’re in Melbourne you don’t only head to galleries to see the latest masterpieces. Around the city there are about 60 laneways where you can view street art – murals, stencils and paste-ups included – by local and international names. Hosier Lane is the most famous and among the colourful designs you’ll see people having their wedding photos taken and groups of students talking about the history of the street.

Artists lead these three-hour walks, which include a studio visit, through the CBD. »» melbournestreettours.com

Design A Space

HIDDEN TREASURE It can be tempting to stick to the malls, but much more interesting discoveries await the curious shopper who heads into the laneways and arcades. Flinders Lane caters to everyone.

AMINA LEE JEWELLERY & ACCESSORIES DESIGNER

esigner Amina Lee and her twin sister Nadia run the jewellery and accessories label Aminalee. In 2011, they began trading at the Queen Victoria Market and soon after settled into a permanent location on String Bean Alley. Now, with winter arriving, they’ll be part of the QVM Night Market, which takes place each Wednesday evening between June and August.

CAFÉ: The Cornershop at Yarraville is beautiful little café, with a relaxed atmosphere and honest, wholesome food. It’s my favourite breakfast spot.

“I’d have to say the food and being surrounded by the amazing aromas from around the world,” says Amina, when asked why she loves working at the Night Market. “There’s nothing like it in Melbourne. It’s special on nights when it’s cold, but the atmosphere is alive and you’ve got a hot beverage to keep you warm while you’re watching amazing live talent and street performers.”

COFFEE: The first thing you’ll notice at Market Espresso in the Queen Victoria Market is the amazing number of people who come here. The coffee is always great and the staff are super friendly.

We asked Amina about some of her other favourite Melbourne places.

RESTAURANT: It would have to be Yong Green Food on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy. The vegetarian and vegan food is richly flavoured and the raw desserts are incredible!

SHOP: I love secondhand bookshops, especially because they are becoming a rarity these days. Already Read Bookshop in Fitzroy is jam-packed from floor to ceiling. I love spending an hour or two there and I’ve always walked out with something I am super excited to get stuck into. EVENT: Second only to the QVM Night Markets is the Melbourne International Film Festival. It’s a chance to visit the heart of the city and enjoy screenings of both local and international cinema. TREAT: A strawberry deluxe waffle from The Waffle Club in String Bean Alley. It’s no surprise that almost everyone notices the smell while they’re shopping here. »» For more information on Aminalee, visit: aminalee.com.au

Melbourne on a Plate Sometimes you’ll be walking along and an amazing aroma will waft over you. That’s Melbourne, where every street and lane has an eatery or bar to discover. AFTERNOON DELIGHT Forget about lunch and instead enjoy the sweetest way to spend an afternoon: partaking in high tea. At the Hotel Windsor, they’ve been serving dainty sandwiches, scones and cream and delectable pastries for more than 130 years. Also delightfully traditional is the spread at Hopetoun Tea Rooms, where savouries, sweets and fruit are presented on a three-tiered stand. More contemporary is newcomer Bibelot. Apart from displaying decadent pastries, this European-inspired dessert bar also has a beautiful high tea salon, decked out with emerald-hued banquettes and armchairs. It’s a little different from most English-style high teas, with cured meats, French cheeses and pâté, served alongside miniature versions of gateaux. »» The Hotel Windsor, 111 Spring Street thehotelwindsor.com.au »» Hopetoun Tea Rooms, Shop 1 & 2, Block Arcade, 282 Collins Street hopetountearooms.com.au »» Bibelot, 285–287 Coventry Street South Melbourne bibelot.com.au Bibelot, South Melbourne

Belle's Hot Chicken, Fitzroy

THE AMERICAN WAY Melbourne is having a moment. Everyone seems to have fallen in love with barbecue ribs, fried chicken and US-style burgers. At Meatmother, the best locally sourced meat is smoked over native hardwood chips. Order pulled pork with braised beans, Wagyu brisket with burnt eggplant and, of course, mac and cheese. Nashville’s finest fried bird is served in Fitzroy at Belle’s Hot Chicken. Choose the heat level of your wings or dark meat (drumstick and thighs), but beware: Really ***** Hot is just that. Tuck into burgers, hotdogs, fries and milkshakes, surrounded by retro video-gamethemed decor, at 8bit. The loaded fries – with cheese sauce, bacon, pickles, grilled onions and jalapeños – are epic. »» Meatmother, 167 Swan Street, Richmond meatmother.com.au »» Belle’s Hot Chicken, 150 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy belleshotchicken.com »» 8bit, 231 Swanston Street eat8bit.com.au Image (above & bottom right): Josie Withers Photography

State Library of Victoria

MELBOURNE’S AMAZING ARCHITECTURE From the outside they look spectacular, but many of Melbourne’s landmark buildings can also be visited and toured. The Old Treasury Building is considered one of the finest 19th century buildings in the country, and there are exhibits and exhibitions on show in many of its rooms, including the old gold vaults. Just up the road, Parliament House is open to the public during sittings, and there’s the chance to go behind the scenes during its public and architecture tours. Impressive is the only word you can use to describe the domed reading room at the State Library of Victoria, which opened in 1854. As well as books, the library holds a huge collection of artefacts often shown in its galleries. »» Old Treasury Building, 20 Spring Street oldtreasurybuilding.org.au »» Parliament House, Cnr Spring & Bourke Streets parliament.vic.gov.au »» State Library of Victoria, 328 Swanston Street slv.vic.gov.au

EAT & DRINK Get a taste of Texas at Up In Smoke. Plenty of classics – pulled pork, beef ribs, hot wings – come out of the huge smoker and there are plenty of craft beers on tap. English pastry chef Matt Forbes has plied his trade at such big-name international restaurants as The Waterside Inn and Noma, but his latest venture is a suburban café. Cobb Lane serves up delectable donuts and pastries but the seasonal menu with the likes of a British breakfast of black pudding, bacon and scotch egg are top notch, too.
