Melbourne

"Our local cafe is called CIBI. It's like this beautiful Japanese restaurant and has all these little Japanese trinkets and a plant shop as well so it's really nice to go in there and get a little treat and have a look at all the cute Japanese things. We're a big tea drinking band. So we love to go there and yeah, get a Japanese tea. That's our local."

"You can go further up Brunswick Street and go to The Rooks Return on Wednesday night. And we'll see The Rookies play the best jazz that I've seen in Melbourne. They play that every Wednesday night and they've been doing it for about nine years. So the band is just so so solid. They are incredible."

"I've just remembered Butcher's Diner, which is right in the city. The food is so so incredible, because it's kind of the place that all the people who work in hospitality go after they finish work so it's open really late. And they make everything so authentically, serve them in this kind of casual dining away. So we've been there a few times, we have had a big day of dance rehearsals and then found ourselves at Butcher's Diner just like stuffing our faces."

Butchers Diner

"It's called Henry Sugar in Carlton and it's so so nice because it's open really late, and they'll give you a coffee or a chai late at night. It's like the kind of place where you could have a first date, but you could also just go and read a book. And, you know, stay up all night writing assignments or doing work and stuff. So I really appreciate there's like late night productivity type places."

"Petty’s Orchard, which is like a beautiful apple orchard, and they have a cafe and you sit in it, drinking tea and eating cakes. And there's lots of rabbits and wildlife and kangaroos around."
