How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found
A nightmarish journey of a young business executive who is stripped of everything that made him who he is. This is a powerful play which makes us question who we really are in the 21st Century.

Food
Rockpool
Rockpool Bar and Grill, Neil Perry's Melbourne restaurant has an open kitchen and warm feeling in the dining room, even with the high ceiling and the ageing meat on display. Which brings us to the food, yes, all things meat; ham, steak, duck wagu noodles or wagu bolognaise.
If meat's not your thing, seafood is also on the menu, plus an array of salads and a great selection of desserts including chocolates sprinkled with salt.
After sampling a selection from the wine list, try your luck at the roulette table.Location: Crown Complex Southbank

Watch
"About Last Night..."
They just don't make romantic comedies the way they used to. Nowadays it's more about the pretty actors and their pretty clothes, than it is the story line.
So in order to find satisfaction from a story of love and relationships, while being made to giggle, we must venture back to the 80s. Demi Moore and Rob Lowe star in "About Last Night..." - it has all the elements to make you want to laugh, cry and fall in love.
It is well acted and doesn't leave us with the taste of cliche in our mouths.

Swap My Style is a place where you can take along 1-5 items of clothing that you'll never wear again (they must be in good condition) and check them in. During "swapping" time you search everyone else's clothes to find new items to replace your old ones. It's a great way to trade in clothes that would probably just become 'food for the moths'.

Delinquent Angel
Shelton Lea was born secretly, and adopted in bizarre circumstances into the high profile Darrell Lea dynasty. Growing up he was told he would never inherit the family fortune; that he had been adopted as a playmate for the natural children. Here began a life of extremes and excesses.
Reviews say, 'this is a biography that rivets, moves and horrifies in turn.'
