    CornershopBuckwheat waffle with poached saffron pear, vanilla ice cream and salted caramel, $19.50 

    We sat down in the heart of Yarraville at the Cornershop and shared the Buckwheat waffle with poached saffron pears for a mid-morning snack. The vibe was cute with comfortable outdoor seating looking onto the local Yarraville scene.

    We had a brief stroll around the beautiful Yarraville Gardens, which was cut short as it started raining but would definitely recommend a picnic there on a sunny day!

    Once the rain started, we headed to The Sun Bookshop, filled with a great collection of books and genres, from bestsellers to great art books and even a book about foraging. 

     

    The Sun Theatre$27 ($13.50 each) 

    Next, we stepped into the iconic Sun Theatre. Its Art Deco charm and vibe create a great atmosphere to experience the world of cinema. On Monday and Tuesdays the tickets are $13.50, it’s well worth the visit as after watching George Miller’s Three Thousand Years of Longing, we left the Sun Theatre feeling nothing but inspired.

    It's hard to find local stories because major news suppliers have economised by cutting local journalism. In addition, social media algorithms mean we have to work doubly hard to be seen.
