This Sunday, Postcards is taking a victory lap, revisiting some of the season’s standout locations across Victoria. Airing at 5:30 PM on Channel 9 and 9Now, the episode features everything from dog-friendly cafes to rustic country towns and culinary hotspots.
Lauren Phillips and her furry companion, Ted, kick things off in Port Melbourne (Bunurong Country), sniffing out the best the bayside suburb has to offer for four-legged friends. Expect stops at the local dog beach, plus puppychinos at Caffe Di Lido and a bite at the family-run Rouse Eatery, where wholesome brunch dishes and sunny outdoor seating are on the menu.
Meanwhile, Madeline Spark heads inland to uncover the rustic charm of Blackwood (Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country), exploring the tranquil Garden of St Erth, the aromatic beans at Martin St Coffee Roasters, and the recently revamped Blackwood Hotel—a classic country pub with hearty meals and local brews.
For the foodies, Shane Delia hits Geelong West (Wathaurong Country) to sample the goods at Born & Bread Bakehouse, the Euro-style Eileen’s Charcoal Grill—located inside the historic Sawyer’s Arms Hotel and a tribute to the legendary Eileen Clatworthy—and the Filipino flavors of Kalyes Marinas Filipino Grill & Seafood.
And because no Postcards road trip is complete without a few surprise guests, Travel Guides’ Kevin and Janetta pop up in Castlemaine (Dja Dja Wurrung Country) to check out Super Hero Banh Mi, Castlemaine Fresh, the stylish new Dutch-Indonesian eatery Voor Ouker, and Mostyn Street Cellars.
So, whether you’re a dog lover, a history buff, a gourmand, or just looking for a weekend getaway idea, Postcards has you covered. Postcards airs Sundays at 5:30 PM on Channel 9 and 9Now.
