Post covid I haven’t been travelling as much and Christmas especially. I find flying at Christmas uniquely unpleasant (as I’m sure many people do). This year however I decided to make the trip to see family in Victoria. I drove down from Sydney though to avoid the aforementioned air travel pain!

The drive there was uneventful (the best possible outcome when travelling the Hume Highway) and Christmas with family was fun.

I also had the pleasure of a booking in Melbourne before I headed home to Sydney.

Now one thing I had thought would be fun to see was The Museum Of Desire in Collingwood (which I talked about previously). It turned out to be a fun, lighthearted look at sex and sexuality and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an hour or two of quirky entertainment in inner Melbourne.

I rather liked the “interactive” nature of many of the exhibits – from a giant “couch thing” that told erotic stories, to the game that required you to match faces to genitals to cars and hand bags! Not to mention the phallic ring toss, and the butt-putt mini-golf…

There was also static art, film, and an interactive sound scape installation. It was fun and worth the investment of a little time.

So thank you Museum of Desire, you provided a fun and lighthearted diversion on a muggy Melbourne afternoon!
