Hello, neglected blog. We had a chat recently with fellow travel writer Daniel Scott about where to hang while you're in Melbourne with kids. 

We spilled the beans on our favourite cafes, from pram-friendly Thousand £ Bend (will they thank me?) to the wondrous National Gallery of Victoria, which has great interactive art and the Gallery Kitchen.

Daniel also dug up some cool hands-on play including Crafternoon in North Carlton and The Farm Cafe at Abbotsford Convent, in Collingwood.

A dad of two himself, here's Daniel's take on the top kid-friendly spots in the city at Art of Money.
