Crust pizza in staffroom of scary school. Spectating world's coldest soccer match in Monbulk. Misty but pretty pitch. Immaculate loft accommodation at kookaburra cottege with fireplace, rustic furniture, fresh bread and old-style milk bottle. Steamy, candle-lit spas. Tiring sleep but beautiful breakfast on a balcony listening to kookaburras.

SUrprise chocolate making with friendly Linda and her lovely cat. Tempering (or beta-crystalizing) milk and dark chocolate, cleaning moulds, making bases, marbling, backfilling, and squishing. Adding textures beautifully designed on a food printer. Walking amongst passionately carved, indigineous-inspired art at William Ricketts Sanctuary. Sleepy Maroondah drives home.
