This Sunday, “Postcards” features a blend of nostalgia and fresh discoveries, led by “The Floor” host Rodger Corser, who takes viewers on a personal tour of his old Melbourne stomping grounds. Joined by Livinia Nixon, Corser revisits Fitzroy, starting at the iconic Blackcat Café, a place clearly etched in his memory.
The pair then explore Fitzroy’s vibrant live music scene, reminiscing about Corser’s past as a trivia host and band member at The Evelyn Hotel. No Fitzroy tour would be complete without a stop at the newly revamped Punters Club, another landmark Corser is keen to revisit.
Meanwhile, Bridget Hustwaite takes on Balaclava, starting with a Middle Eastern-inspired meal at Miss Mat Cafe. Her next stop features local designs at LuLu Design, rounding out the exploration with a Korean and Japanese culinary fusion at Park Bar.
Over in Queensland, Kris Smith immerses himself in the sights and sounds of Eumundi. He’ll wander through the bustling Eumundi Markets, tour a luxurious Mater Prize Home, and soak in the history of the grand Imperial Hotel Eumundi. Back in Melbourne, Lauren Phillips explores Hawthorn, enjoying coffee and comfort food at the Barton Milk Bar with siblings James and Cat.
She’ll also experience the European-inspired ambiance of Piccolo Panini Bar on Glenferrie Road, run by Damian and Stephen, and Gibson’s Wine Bar, helmed by Trent and Tyler. This episode explores Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country, Bunurong Country and Gubbi Gubbi Country.
“Postcards” airs Sunday on Channel 9 and 9Now at 5:30 PM.
