You can get coffee anywhere. But did you know one of Melbourne's most interesting places for ethically sourced, house-roasted beans and sublime specialty beverages is wedged between the Maroondah Highway and the railway line in outer-suburban Ringwood? Saazaa is owned by David Juma, a Kenyan-born entrepreneur who sources most of his beans from his dad's farm in Africa and roasts them in a large factory space.
Best for: Coffee-tasting flights, to get a sense of several beans, blends and roasts.

A mega pub with a rooftop bar, private karaoke and more opens in Melbourne's CBD

Previous SlideNext Slide Pub dining$$$$ Following a $12 million transformation, one of Melbourne's most centrally located city pubs, the Crafty Squire on Russell Street, has reopened as Hickens Hotel. Owned by Australian Venue Co (The Espy, Morris House), the four-storey, 1110-person mega-pub now has two additional levels including a newly built rooftop bar, and a sports bar on a floor not previously open to the public. On street level is what's billed as 'Australia's first permanent Carlton Draught bar', a collaboration with the Melbourne-born brewery that's pouring the whole catalogue of beers in a retro setting decked out with archival Carlton Draught posters and memorabilia. One level up, a restaurant lined with blue banquettes and cafe curtains serves both pub classics and 'playful additions that are our take on some nostalgic favourites'. There's cheese and Vegemite garlic bread; crab and corn croquettes; and a duck leg 'inspired by nan's apricot chicken', with a native green-curry gravy featuring lemon myrtle, wattleseed and more. The same menu is available venue-wide.

Mountains of dirt, specks of gold: How low-grade can miners go?

Ian Bamborough gazes lovingly across the deep red earth of Saturn Metals' tenement, a gold deposit that has been short of affection since its discovery almost four decades ago.
