About MelbourneLyf
An independent guide to living in Melbourne - food and drink, events, arts, property and city life.
What we cover
MelbourneLyf is a lifestyle and what's-on publication for Melbourne, Australia. We write for people who live here and for people visiting, and we try to be genuinely useful rather than breathless.
- News - Melbourne news with a lifestyle lean - the city, its people and what is changing.
- Food & Drink - Where to eat and drink across Melbourne, from laneway coffee to the long lunch.
- What's On - Events, festivals, markets and the weekend, sorted.
- Arts & Culture - Galleries, music, film and the ideas moving through the city.
- Property - Neighbourhoods, the market and the business of living in Melbourne.
- City Living - Getting around, the outdoors and the everyday rhythm of the city.
How we work
We write from first-hand knowledge of the city, and we check the details - names, addresses, opening days, event dates - against primary sources before we publish. Where a venue, gallery or organiser has an official page, that is what we go by, and we link to it.
We do not invent places, quotes, prices or reviews. If we are not sure of something, we leave it out or say plainly that it is worth confirming. Opening hours and prices change often, so we tend to describe what somewhere is known for rather than pin down a figure that will date.
Some of our writing is produced with the assistance of AI tools. Every article is reviewed by a named editor before it is published, and the editor is answerable for it.
Who we are
MelbourneLyf is published by Domain Farm Ltd. Our writers and editors are listed on their own standards page, and each article carries the byline of the person who wrote it.
Corrections
