Taste of Melbourne

Autumn in Australia: the gastronomic festival Taste of Melbourne

  • by

Taste of Melbourne is the autumn event which rallies the best restaurateurs and chefs, who for four days are dedicated to share with the public their skill to celebrate the culinary arts. It’s a great event, which this year will be held November 15 to 18.

Taste of Melbourne

The stands of local artisan producers, restaurants and show-cooking by famous chefs or emerging talent, will be based at Albert Park, but to get a taste of the true culture of local food (which as is often recommended, you should always check before traveling) you point out the facebook page of the event, where they appear reports of bloggers running around Melbourne in a sort of restaurant safari, and posting photos and addresses of the premises which have particularly appreciated, to keep in mind even if you go over there at any other time.

Australia: Tour of the underground gold mine at Walhalla

The Walhalla is usually associated with religious references in northern Europe. But it also indicates an area of the region of Victoria, Australia. At Walhalla we find an interesting museum, housed in the old tunnels of a gold mine now abandoned.

underground gold mine

The Long Tunnel Extended Gold Mine came with the first excavations in 1836 by Hercules United Gold Company, but definitely wrong path and direction, lying for 8 years to dig useless rock devoid of precious minerals. Taking advantage of the bankruptcy of its predecessor, the Long Tunnel Extended Company began to dig in 1871, but this time in the opposite direction.Read More »Australia: Tour of the underground gold mine at Walhalla

Darwin in Australia, not only the gateway to a vast and still untouched, territory (sometimes close and accessible, as in the case of Litchfield Park and the Kakadu Park), but also the dynamic capital of a state, the Northern Territory, in rapid economic development, which attracts the young “professionals” from around Australia.
