We love celebrating milestones at Dirty Linen! Today we chat to Frank Camorra on the 20th birthday of MoVida Original on Hosier Lane. When Frank launched the Spanish restaurant, people in Melbourne weren't used to eating at a bar or the casual, engaging style of dining that tapas is all about. We talk about what's changed and what hasn't and Frank shares some secrets to longevity.

Maurie Cafra owns Cafresco Organics in Koo Wee Rup in Victoria, a South Gippsland region remarkable for its black soil and suitability for growing food. Maurie grew up on the farm and still lives here so in some ways, things have stayed remarkably consistent. In other ways, a lot has changed. Maurie went against the grain and transitioned to organic farming, becoming certified in 1997. As he tells us, he didn’t get pats on the back from his neighbours, but the proof is in his viable business and the increasing biodiversity on his farm.

Anyone who’s been to Reine, the new Melbourne restaurant from the NOMAD group, has a lot to say about it. They usually start with the incredible space - the restaurant is in a cathedral-like old stock exchange building that dates to the 1890s. They talk about the cocktails, the seafood, the steak - and I’m still thinking about the cheese offering! But they often also talk about the acoustics. How is it possible in this soaring stone chamber that you can hear yourself think, let alone have conversations? We talk to the woman who can answer that question. Helen Searle is an acoustic, audio-visual and theatre consultant within the Arup Melbourne team.
