    Loved all the food related posts, but my favourite post was of 2016 was Tetsujin at Emporium (http://www.melbournegirl.com.au/2016/03/03/tetsujin-at-emporium/). Being new to Melbourne, I really appreciated any ideas for dining out. Japanese and Korean are my fave picks, so I really enjoyed Tetsujin, and have returned many times!

    I LOVED the post about the Premier’s Active April – I had no idea about it until I read the post. I subsequently got my friends and family to sign up as a team and get a bit more active throughout the cold months (and even if they didn’t sign up we still exercised together)

    The CafeSmart Day article. I love a smooth strong cup of coffee, it’s my engine fuel for my roller coaster ride of life and there is no room for DECAF passengers but it’s great to know my addiction can also help someone less fortunate than myself!

    The post on Ben and Jerry’s Open Air Cinema brought back fond memories!

    We had one here in Canberra and it was truly spectacular: on the lawns of the National Library, with the sun setting, a good movie, and 3 friends by my side.

    A perfect night out, captured well by this blog post.

    “8 THINGS TO DO AND SEE ON A YARRA VALLEY ROAD TRIP”. It just so happened we had a free weekend and were inspired by your post on the Yarra. We certainly hit up the chocolatier and ice creamery and a few cellar doors, your insights into the area were down to earth and totally doable over a weekend. We didn’t make it to the famers market, but your rendition of it has us super keen to head back there again asap!

    So great to hear Alyce! Be sure to shout out any other favourites you discovered along the way too xx
