This four day show in Melbourne brings together the city's finest restaurants and the region's top food producers all under one giant roof, where Melbourne's Foodies salivate openly at the hundreds of stalls and free tasting stations. I had attended the Good Food & Wine Show earlier in the year (read about it here), and was impressed enough to take Alison along to the Taste of Melbourne, which is billed as the best food show in town. Which makes it slightly odd that we would want to attend really, because we make a point of not eating at the city's finest restaurants, I definitely wouldn't describe us as foodies, and vegetarian dishes were not high on anyone's a la carte agendas.

AFL: The 2011 Brownlow Medal Dinner - Superstars, WAGs and Toilet Breaks
The Chas Brownlow Medal is awarded to the AFL Footy Player of the year at an annual awards dinner in the week of the Grand Final. It's one of the hottest tickets in town, with paparazzi, red carpets, a live television broadcast, the cream of Australia's beautiful, rich young things, and an ageing crowd of corporate hangers-on. You've guessed it, I fell into the latter group, but I wasn't complaining too much even if our table was strategically located at the back of the room, firmly away from the cameras. The producers probably had us marked down as the 'good faces for radio' table long before we arrived.

24 Hours in Brisbane.
Sheep shearing, sunshine, Sheilas, XXXX, koalas, the river, sharks, Steve Irwin, and floods. Not the most flattering list of descriptors for a city you've ever seen, but that was sum total of expectations I had for Brisbane.
