Ten little penguins would probably do it but there are plenty of other reasons to plan an adventure on Phillip Island. This little island is big on activities for every weekend wanderer: surfers and sand-castle builders, wildlife watchers and sports spectators, foodies and fishing fans, jazz cats and history buffs. The best bit (aside from the penguins)? It's only a 90-minute drive from Melbourne. Jump in the car and you'll be there in a jiffy.

Dive into Port Phillip Bay under the watch of 82 distinctive bathing boxes, a row of uniformly proportioned wooden structures lining the foreshore at Brighton Beach. Built well over a century ago in response to very Victorian ideas of morality and seaside bathing, the bathing boxes remain almost unchanged. All retain classic Victorian architectural features with timber framing, weatherboards and corrugated iron roofs, though they also bear the hallmarks of individual licencees' artistic and colourful embellishments. Thanks to these distinctive decorations, the boxes turn the Brighton seaside into an immediately recognisable, iconic beachscape that can transform by the hour according to season, light and colour. Just try to resist pulling out your camera and snapping away.

South of Johnston was created in 2012 by Stuart Mckenzie in the back streets of Collingwood, Melbourne, Victoria. After the success of his first café Mart130 in Middle Park, he decided to create a space closer to his home in Fitzroy and stumbled upon the empty warehouse space and set about creating Sojo located at 46 Oxford St Collingwood. With its soaring 5 metre ceilings, large internal and external courtyards and industrial vibe, the space was perfect for his needs. With an emphasis on community and hospitality, the café became an art laden local hub with works on walls being collected from local galleries and artists, lush herb gardens and orchards grown for the neighbours to utilise and areas for those with dogs to dine in. Quality and generosity are important at South of Johnston.

Lazerpig’s wood-fired oven yields pizza with a light, crunchy crust, made with five-year-old sourdough culture. The knockout mushroom pizza, aptly called the Fun Guy, piles thick slices of portabello and shimeji mushrooms atop a puree of portabello mushrooms cooked with thyme and confit garlic. It’s topped off with truffle oil and dollops of mascarpone. Tropical Melbourne – a play on the divisive Hawaiian – pairs ham off the bone with caramelised pineapple, smoked scamorza, rosemary and thyme. If you’re not feeling pizza there’s a small (and odd) selection of alternatives – a cheeseburger, oysters, arancini and fried calamari.
