What to expect from Melbourne’s brand new foodie precinct, ELLA

-
You know I’ve said it before, but Melbourne is an incredible city. I LOVE living here and feel so blessed to be a part of the vibrant food culture where I can enjoy an abundance of different types of food to enjoy each week. Eating out in Melbourne is a massive part of our lifestyle. Not only is it super affordable but the choices are pretty impressive.
So here are some things I’ve tried that I want to share with you to enjoy next time you’re in town.
Agathe Bakery – Rated 4.6 stars (154 reviews)
Located in the centre of the South Melbourne Markets, Agathe’s Bakery is designed with an open shop front that you can see right through. You’re going to drool while you wait in line as you stare directly at the racks filled with baked buttery pastry treats. And don’t even get me started about the intoxicating smell of freshly baked pastry – it’s incredible! You can easily avoid the queues if you arrive early during the week.
So what did I try? Well, I punished one of their oversized vanilla pastry flans which I swear is 100 times better than a Portuguese tart. But the indulgence didn’t stop at just one flan, I also treated myself to two of their famous canneles – they were so heavenly. As I bit down into a super soft and moist like pastry shell my tastebuds were hit with a deliciously mushy centre.

The number of homes being put up for auction across Australia has continued to plummet, quashing hopes of spring injecting momentum into the struggling market. According to property researcher CoreLogic it was the “lowest preliminary clearance rate seen so far this year” at just 55 percent across Sydney and Melbourne. Both markets were down by more than 500 on the same weekend as last week with owners of luxury homes tending to sell privately before auction.

The rise and rise of Ariarne Titmus, Australia's swimmer of the year

-

The 19-year-old was the toast of the 2019 Swimming Australia Awards in Sydney on Sunday night, cleaning up by also claiming Short Course Swimmer of the Year and sharing the Patron Award. Tasmanian-born, Brisbane-based Titmus already had plenty to celebrate in a breakout 2019 after famously dethroning American great Katie Ledecky to claim 400m freestyle gold at this year's world titles in South Korea in July. It marked the first time Ledecky – a 14-time world champion – had been beaten over 400m, 800m or 1500m freestyle at a major international meet since 2012.

With koala numbers in decline, one lobby group has drafted its own protection legislation

-

 Wildlife rescuer Tracey Wilson lets out a familiar refrain whenever she receives a call about a lost or injured koala: "Here we go again".  It is not from a lack of love for the iconic marsupial — Ms Wilson spends countless hours helping injured koalas recuperate from all sorts of injuries and mishaps. She was one of the first people on hand when 21 koalas were found dead and 49 so horribly injured they had to be euthanased after a south-west Victorian timber plantation was cleared in 2020. Many of the koalas that survived that incident recovered at Ms Wilson's wildlife sanctuary in Koroit. Her frustration, she said, stemmed from the fact that the number of calls to help injured koalas was increasing.
