Bar Taralli
Previous SlideNext Slide
Italian$$$$
Change is afoot in North Melbourne, and chef Salvatore Giorgio is part of that. For his debut restaurant, Bar Taralli, he's written a menu that's all about Italy's south, where his family comes from.
While some familiar dishes dot the menu, regional specialties reign. As in Calabria, house-made 'nduja arrives at the table in a candle-lit terracotta pot so it stays warm, ready to be mopped up with crusty bread.
Scialatielli, a short pasta with a noodle-like shape from the Amalfi Coast, is served with the best seafood that day. And Pugliese bombette are 'little bombs' of pork scotch stuffed with caciocavallo cheese, wrapped in pancetta and cooked over charcoal – a little like a mini porchetta.

Waterfront views abound in this week's pick of the property market
Nothing beats sitting back and soaking in the relaxed vibes of an ocean or riverfront view. If it's waterfront you're after, this week's property round-up has you covered. 5 Wandella Avenue, Hunters Hill NSW While this architect-designed waterfront home impresses with its scale and presence, it's the small, joyful rituals that define its appeal. 'The vendor, being Italian, loves setting the dining table for 14 in minutes, lighting the fireplace, and creating an atmosphere that feels instantly magical,' the agent says. 'And with a private jetty, there's nothing better than jumping in the boat at sunset and cruising to Darling Harbour for a gelato.' 1 Wharf Road, Longueville NSW Set in one of Longueville's quietest pockets, this riverfront home offers a rare lifestyle where kids paddle out from the boatshed and spend afternoons on the lawn at the water's edge. Adults enjoy it just as much. 'The vendor works from home and loves looking out over the serenity of Tambourine Bay,' the agent says. 'Their favourite spot is the master bedroom, where the views make it feel like living in the treetops.' 3/32 Darling Point Road, Darling Point NSW Housed within the landmark Cloncorrick – a Victorian Gothic masterpiece – this top-floor apartment offers a house-like scale and rare historic appeal. 'Inside, you're greeted by soaring ceilings, intricate leadlight windows, and a beautifully restored timber staircase,' the agent says. 'But it's the sweeping 180-degree views, from Rushcutters Bay to the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, that truly take the breath away.'

I cruised to Belize City, the world's 'worst' cruise port, and loved it
Cruisers are a passionate lot. An internet search reveals long online discussions among travellers about the worst ports they have cruised to, those they never want to revisit. Top of the list is Belize City in the Caribbean country of Belize. 'Full of useless trinket shops,' one commenter says. 'Nothing to do,' others complain. I beg to differ. I was lucky enough to visit Belize City for the first time earlier this year on an Explorer Journeys voyage and loved an excursion visiting the Altun Ha Mayan ruins, followed by a wander through the town to see the colonial buildings, visit the museum, and the library which was running an exhibition on Belizean musicians. X After that we looked at reviews and made our way to the best-rated outdoor bar serving johnny cakes and Belizean Belikin beer and watched sailors pulling in their catch of the day from fishing boats. Yes, the tourism village selling trinkets that you need to walk through at the cruise ship terminal is terrible but beyond that there's a whole country to discover. Second on the worst ports list was Nassau in the Bahamas, for exactly the same reasons – the touts selling souvenirs right near the port. But beyond is a tour of John Watling's Distillery to learn about rum, the fascinating Educulture Junkanoo Museum full of Bahamian costumes made from colourful crêpe paper and cardboard and endless beach shacks serving delicious conch salad. I was lucky enough to visit Belize City for the first time earlier this year on an Explorer Journeys voyage and loved an excursion visiting the Altun Ha Mayan ruins. Picture: Andrea Black. So why do these ports make it to the top of cruisers' worst lists? Bottom line: don't rely on walking off the ship and having a wander without being fully prepared. If it's a port that you've never been to before, do some pre-trip research on the best things to do there, and consider booking in excursions. After all, part of the joy of travel is in the planning. This rule especially applies to any port you see that has a bracket afterwards. For example, an Italian cruise might include Florence (Livorno) and Rome (Civitavecchia), which of course sounds alluring, but beware, these world cities are often a long bus trip from the port, which is even more reason to pre-book an excursion. A port visit to Livorno is made so much better if you book in that day tour to Florence. A port visit to Livorno is made so much better if you book in that day tour to Florence. Jump on the bus for the 99km drive and before you know it you'll be visiting Michelangelo's David at the Galleria dell'Accademia and dining on incredible pasta in hidden trattorias. This rule also applies to sailings into Bangkok (Laem Chabang), a 90-minute drive to the capital. Some such as Berlin (Warnemünde) are so far away (at two and half hours' drive each way) it might be an idea to just explore the local city of Rostock instead and save Berlin for a proper discovery post-cruise. Ultimately, if there is one port we can all agree is the very worst port, the port that truly tops the world's worst ports list, it's the one where we have to get off with our luggage.
