Newsletter | #213 | What's On this Week Newsletter | #213 | What's On this Week

Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and community guide for Tuesday to Monday, February 1 to 7.

This week... yes, we continue to celebrate the new Year of the Rabbit, and yes, there's yet another celebration of Chinese New Year with the major shindig of that George Orwellian system of attributing each year to an animal. If you're over the whole fiasco by now, just count your lucky zodiacs that we don't have a centennial system based on Nineteen-Eighty Four - can you imagine what the Year of John Hurt would be like? No offense, John, I like your work, truly.

There's quite the selection for music lovers this week with the return of St Kilda Festival offering a great program of music performances along with arts, theatre and the odd clod who's just there for the beer, which we'll politely refer to as roving entertainment. For music fans there's also the St Jerome's Laneway Festival held in Footscray and the Beethoven Music Festival with a series of concerts held at Brunswick Town Hall.

And we finally fall into the last week of School Holidays, and thank goodness for that. If anything it means less shopping what with hungry little creatures wandering about throughout the day. I'm in the middle of moving house right now, so what with work, packing and keeping the kids entertained there's been more than the odd night of burning the candle at both ends.

It's the perfect setting to inspire late night snacking so there's been quite a tug-of-war in regards to chips, chocolates and leftovers, not to mention the pointing of accusing fingers come morning when the pantry seems lacking. The fingers are usually pointed my way, and my full-mouth-mumbled excuses of having 'bumped into a biscuit' are starting to wear thin, so I salute all you noble teachers who'll make that bold return to your duties, and I'll be sure to tip my Tim-Tam to you... once I find where the tribe has hidden them.

Trivia

Hoddle What Now?

One of Melbourne's busiest stretches of road, notoriously busy some might say, is in fact more crowded than you'd think, what with it actually holding three names and not the two it's most commonly referred to. Known commonly as Hoddle Street and Punt Road, both are actually constituent parts of the greater, but lesser known, Hoddle Highway.

So named after Robert Hoddle, who designed Melbourne's Hoddle Grid, the highway is known as Hoddle Street north of Bridge Road, and Punt Road south of Bridge Road, named after the punt that was once used to cross the Yarra River before a bridge was built.
