Melburnians appreciate the finest in life: food, coffee, music…oh and football. If you are in Melbourne during footy season, you won't be able to escape it, it's followed with religious fervour.
'Four Seasons in one day' - After a beautiful day on Friday, Melbourne turned out a shocking wet day today.
I wanted to capture the multicultural element of Melbourne, so I spent some time filming the Victorian Markets.
Melbourne represents to me fine food and a great live music scene. So on Friday night l went to a bush tucker restaurant and feasted on crocodile, and then watched Wendy Rule perform.
A well known musician Wendy tells us what she likes about Melbourne. less

This eagerly anticipated drama tells the story of an English aristocrat, Lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman), and a rough-hewn cattle drover (Hugh Jackman) who drive 1,500 herd of cattle across Northern Australia.
Most of the film was shot in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, and the cast and crew spent months here making the scenes look suitably spectacular.
But just what did they get up to, and where did they hang out?
This video follows in the footsteps of Nicole, Hugh and Baz, and also includes some great clips from the film.
For more information on the Northern Territory or Western Australia visit www.australiasoutback.com and www.westernaustralia.com.

Spent the night camping right on the beach at the beautiful Mimosa Rocks National Park just out of Tathra. In certain National Parks in Australia you can camp in designated camp grounds for a small fee and Mimosa Rocks is one of my favourites, with some fantastic rock formations at the Aragunnu camp site.
Today I am taking a tour to Mumbula Mountain, sacred to the local Aborigines.
Ronald Tighe, an Aboriginal guide at the Umbarra Cultural centre talks about the significance of Mumbulla Mountain.
The Umbarra Cultural Centre runs tours to local sacred sites. Participants can learn about the significance of these sites to the local Aborigines. less

In the 1860s to the early 1900’s, Echuca was a bustling port with paddlesteamers ferrying people and goods all through the the Murray, Darling and Murrumbidgee River systems.
By the early 1970's, the port was derelict and unused. The council of the day decided that its paddlesteamer heritage was unique and started restoration of the port.
Today the paddlesteamers are making a comeback. Many old sunken boats are being repaired to their former glory.
Kevin Hutchinson is a Shipwright who has played a large role in the paddlesteamer revival.
Echuca is a great example of how rural towns can use their heritage to establish tourism. less

If your love life could do with a little spicing up Grenada, the spice island, is the place to go.
Grenada is made up of three different islands, Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
Some of the Caribbean’s most gorgeous islands. You can grow practically anything in this fertile soil.
For instance Sugar which was used for making rum to be shipped up to the cold north. But of course it’s the spices that put Grenada on the map.
The French and British waged war in the 17th and 18th century over who controlled the island and it’s rich crops.., Ft. George, in the capital city was built by the Brits to protect their interests.
But what do spices have to do with Romance you ask? A good question. Many of the spices grown here are valued for their aphrodisiac qualities. Take the odd- looking nutmeg. Scratch the surface of any nutmeg and there beats the heart of a mighty aphrodisiac.
Excuse me if I seem a little nuts about nutmeg ... But The Compulsive Traveler is also a little obsessive.
At Douglaston Spice Estate.... you can pick your own aphrodisiac. Here’s a wonderful combination. Nutmeg and beautiful girls.
But what about... Cinnamon or Chocolate? Another celebrated aphrodisiac. Also grown here in Grenada.
At the Belmont Estate you see the century-old way chocolate or cocoa beans were prepared for market...by dancing on them in huge copper pots.
And this is the way the Big Drum dance, a traditional African Dance was kept alive over the centuries and is still reenacted today.
Mix this with the local spices and you get an intoxicating dose of tropical sensuality.
From the delicious fresh grilled lobster... To the heady fragrance of the flowers
the island pleasures greet you everywhere
Here on Carriacou, you see the direct link between spices, sensuality, romance, love and... you guessed it.... marriage.
What could be a more perfect place for a wedding? The best part is you don’t have to go anywhere for your honeymoon. It’s all right here.
A word of caution: don’t come to Grenada unless you’re prepared to have your passions ignited. (And go easy on the nutmeg.) less

Budding gourmets and Spanish enthusiasts indulged their taste-buds as the week long ‘Taste of Spain’ festival concentrated on matters food and drink.
This tantalising selection of Spain’s most famous foods and wines included demonstrations by chefs from London’s leading Spanish restaurants and the Spanish regions. There were even cocktails being made out of Harveys Sherry.
It’s part of a push to encourage British people to sample the Spanish experience, and hopefully encourage even more of us to take a trip to Spain on holiday.
To see just what was served up, take a look at this video.
