MELBOURNEmade Magazine giveaway

June 3 2012 By melbournemamma 4 Comments

About MELBOURNEMADE MAGAZINE:

 

We are a creative bunch. We like to read, tell stories, sew, paint, draw, photograph, learn and explore. And we like to do it together. That’s why MELBOURNEmade was born. It’s about all the things we love to do, the people who do them best, inspiration for us to do them better and how to read, find and contribute creatively.

 

It’s for those of us who want to learn more about what makes Melbourne tick. You will find out what inspires the people about town, who the people behind the products are, learn more about the quirks of this fabulous city and find out what you can do and where you can go to soak it all up. You won’t find gossip or scandal (but trust me, it will still be fun!). You will find a community of people as passionate about being creative and being in Melbourne as you.

 

I have copies of their first issue “Kids & Family” to give away to 4 lucky readers.

Kyoto was a beautiful contrast to the bright light Kyoto was a beautiful contrast to the bright lights of Osaka. 
 
We loved wandering through its historic streets, discovering incredible temples and gardens, and experiencing the slower more traditional side of Japan. Every place we visited felt special and full of history.
 
While the boys headed off to the Samurai Ninja Museum for some action-packed fun, my daughter and I enjoyed making our own rings at a Japanese ring-making workshop. It was such and fun and unique experience to share together.
 
We also made a lunch stop at Nishiki Market – a must for food lovers! So many incredible sights and flavours to discover (and I may have developed a slight addiction to furikake… 🤭IYKYK).

In the evening we strolled through Gion and the Shirakawa Canal area before enjoying a delicious Thai dinner, which was a welcome change after so much amazing Japanese food.
 
Our Kyoto favourites:
 
⛩️ Fushimi Inari Taisha
🥢 Nishiki Market
💍 @glanta_kyoto_sanjokawramchi
🥷 @samurai_ninja_museum 
🛕 Yasaka Pagoda
🏮 Gion District 
🍜 @rungarun_kyoto 
 
A beautiful day filled with amazing memories.

It was hot. It was humid. We walked more than we t It was hot. It was humid. We walked more than we thought possible… and we absolutely loved it!
 
Nara was the perfect little escape from the energy of Osaka. It offered a beautiful mic of history, nature and culture. 

From wandering through Nara Park with the friendly (and very determined) deer to exploring ancient temples and peaceful gardens, it was a day full of unforgettable memories.
 
Our Nara favourites:
 
🦌 Nara Park
🛕 Kofukuji Temple
⛩️ Kasuga Taisha Shrine
🌳 Yoshikien Garden
🛍️ Higashimuki Shopping Street
 
A quick day trip but definitely one of our Japan highlights.

Osaka was the perfect way to kick off our Japan ad Osaka was the perfect way to kick off our Japan adventure. From the bright lights of Dotonbori and endless shopping to incredible food, temples, arcades and plenty of family laughs, this city delivered.
 
Our trip didn’t quite go to plan after Jetstar cancelled our flight, which meant we lost a day of our holiday 😟. It wasn’t the start we’d hoped for but we made the most of every moment we had.
 
The weather was hot and humid, but that didn’t stop us exploring this incredible city. We loved wandering through the neon streets of Dotonbori, shopping Shinsaibashi, exploring Den Den Town and taking in the beauty of Namba Yasaka Shrine and Osaka Castle.
 
And of course, the food did not disappoint! From delicious gyoza to incredible pizza (yes, pizza in Japan deserves a mention 🤤), cheesecake, egg sandwiches IYKYK, and everything in between, Osaka is a foodie’s dream.
 
Our Osaka favourites:

🦁 Namba Yasaka Shrine
🥟 @gyozaoh! Dotonbori
🏯 Osaka Castle
🎮 Den Den Town
🍕 @pizzeriadatigre
🛍️ Don Quijote
🏎️ @mr.hiro_carstudio
🍔 @kitan_hibiki
🍰 @rikuro1956 cheesecake
🐠 @kaiyukan_japan 
 
Would we have loved another day in Osaka? Absolutely. But even with one less day, it was packed with unforgettable memories.

Safe to say we picked the perfect time to visit Sy Safe to say we picked the perfect time to visit Sydney ✨

With Vivid lighting up the city every night, we’ve been treated to an incredible show from our apartment and around Darling Harbour 🌟

This spectacular light show was the perfect way to end the evening. Sydney really knows how to put on a show ❤️

Darling Harbour putting on a show from my hotel room window - twinkling lights, reflections on the water and the Sydney skyline glowing after dark 🌃

Definitely no complaints from me 😍

If David Attenborough has taught us anything, it’s If David Attenborough has taught us anything, it’s that the world is breathtakingly beautiful and worth protecting 🌎💚

100 years of Sir David Attenborough. What a life. What a legacy 🌿🐘🐋

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest storytellers the world has ever known 🎂

Just finished ‘Fifty Fifty’ by Steve Cavanagh and Just finished ‘Fifty Fifty’ by Steve Cavanagh and wow, what a ride.

I could not put this one down… ended up reading until 2:30 am to finish it! Such a clever, gripping story that keeps you guessing the whole way through.

Honestly, the entire Eddie Flynn series is fantastic. If you love fast-paced legal thrillers, these are absolute must-reads.

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

“Alexandra Avellino has just found her father’s mutilated body, and needs the police right away. She believes her sister killed him, and that she is still in the house with a knife. 

Sofia Avellino has just found her father’s mutilated body and needs the police right away. She believes her sister, Alexandra did it, and that she is still in the house, locked in the bathroom. 

Both women are to go on trial at the same time. A joint trial in front of one jury. 

But one of these women is lying. One of them is a murderer. Sitting in a jail cell, about to go on trial with her sister for murder, you might think that this is the last place she expected to be. 

You’d be wrong.”
