Open Day

We’ve all heard how rare and precious the Nicholas Building is, but few of us have had cause to go inside. Much less to visit the Salon. This Sunday is Open House at a few of the city’s otherwise hidden treasures. Come Friday, City of Melbourne staff’ll be tidying their desks, as the impressive CH2 building opens its six-green-star rated doors to the public. And things might get a tad packed in the St Paul’s Cathedral bell tower. There’s the chance to see the bits you would never otherwise see of Melbourne Town Hall, the Manchester Unity Building and the Regent, among others.

The queues to get into these started at each venue and snaked around the surrounding streets for blocks.
Here's to the City of Melbourne - may they make Melbourne's hidden treasures regularly available.

Slow guides

The Slow Guides are for anybody who wants to slow down and live it up, seachange without shifting postcode. They celebrate all that’s local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about living in Sydney and Melbourne. Click on a book for a preview.

How to buy a book

Start off slow and get your book the old-fashioned way; pop into a store and say g’day. But if you’re too entranced with what’s happening in your garden, or too preoccupied gazing on a cloud, you could always order one online.
