Our city's greatest heritage is its green fringe.

Great swathes of natural bushland, manicured parks and public reserves surround the city. Some, only a short drive from the CBD, maintain pristine bush heritage and form centre stage to festival events.

On the urban fringe is farming land so fertile it is protected to grow outstanding seasonal vegetables and soil so suited to winemaking it is recognised as an official wine region in its own right. Melbourne sits on a bay from which we gather mussels, squid and fresh fish that grace our restaurant's tables.

Within a short reach of the city are some truly wonderful wild spaces that make Melbourne the Most Liveable City in the World.
