The Slow Guide to Melbourne
by Martin Hughes
The Slow Guide to Melbourne is a new and inspirational lifestyle guide for Melburnians who want to slow down and live it up. Salve for the soul and a manual for managing in hectic times, it's like making a sea-change without shifting postcode.
In a world spinning on the nexus between ‘now' and ‘next', The Slow Guide steps off the merry-go-round to celebrate all that's local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about life in Melbourne. It discovers every aspect of local lifestyle and character through a sumptuously slow lens.
Explore the natural features that shape and define Melbourne, clip the wings of time, shop with soul, and have more fun in uniquely local ways. Readers will see, smell, hear, taste and even touch Melbourne anew while creating a new bond with their community and surrounds. There's also a slow section for fast kids, and lots of inspirational tips, activities and affirmations that will help you live more and fret less.
Stunning black-and-white photography will make residents puff with pride over their hometown.
Martin Hughes is the publisher, and author of The Slow Guide to Melbourne. The photographer is James Braund.
