Hello Long Weekend
Happy Thursday, Reader!
If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know that today I went for a run, visited the Immigration Museum, smashed TWO plates of dumplings and a hot chocolate..
…but now onto what’s really important. Emailing you!
This week I want to share what I’ve been working on this week – updating our Top 100 FREE things to do in Melbourne with kids.
I hope you get something out of it, especially if you’re staying in Melbourne this long weekend.
Let me know what you think.
