A bit of a Melbourne Institution, one of the first cafes to open to Brunswick street in the 1980's. Great place to sit and watch the world go and get the flavour of the area.

Everything Else
It is a historic site on a beautiful part of the river. There are cafe's my favourite being Cam's or the Japanese. The gardens are superb. It is next door to the Collingwood Childrens' Farm and you can walk along the river to get here. There are artist's studio and two galleries, I have a studio here. Some studios are open to the public but not all.
