Our Story
Hi, I’m Amy Gardner, a tourism content creator who loves exploring Melbourne. At 35, I made the decision to spend more intentional, quality time with my parents, Chris and Terrie. That’s why I’m heading out with them every week for a year to explore Melbourne and uncover the true treasures in our own backyard. I’m even getting my in-laws involved, too. Together, we’re curating a master list of inspiring things to do in Melbourne for seniors and over 60s. Join us in discovering the beauty of Melbourne and beyond. Since my Dad is involved, there’ll be some terrible jokes to enjoy along the way, too.
Join us to uncover Melbourne.
Discover senior-friendly attractions, tours, cafes, and more, all with easy access to public transport. With a focus on accessibility, seniors card discounts as well as free and low-cost activities, we’ll help you uncover all that Melbourne has to offer.

Joke of the day
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We recognise the enduring connection of Australia’s First Nations peoples to the land, waters, and community, and we extend our appreciation for the wisdom and resilience of the senior Indigenous community.
