Last weekend, we took our dog to Brimbank Park – surely one of Melbourne’s secret fabulous places. From the park entrance, it looks almost industrial, but wind your way down the entry road and you’re in a riverside oasis. You could be in the country in another time rather than contemporary outer suburbia.

There are clues though. This farming house boasts a TV antenna. And if you peer through the trees, there are double storey houses perched on the steep bank on the far side of the river.
The ducks have discovered it.

This has been another plug for Melbourne and the benefits of being a tourist in your own town.Â
