Tucked into the trees along Monbulk Road in Belgrave, Killik Handcrafted Rum Distillery is more than just a place to drink; it's a destination where small-batch spirits, ambitious food, and a warm, intimate atmosphere come together. When we visited, we were seated in a gorgeous private room with a crackling log burner and views out to the forest, and enjoyed a generous, flavour-packed feast that perfectly matched Killik's handcrafted rum and cocktails. At the heart of the kitchen is head chef Kevin Peiris, who joined six months ago and has already reshaped the menu with his distinctive style. Originally from coastal Sri Lanka, Kevin brings bold, aromatic flavours: coconut, curry leaves, pandan, and spice, thoughtfully adapted for a local palate. With over twelve years' experience across leading Mornington Peninsula venues, he blends his heritage with Western techniques, creating dishes that are both creative and approachable, all while leading his team with a calm, disciplined focus on learning and making people happy through food.

The Design Brief segment of The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast is proudly brought to you by ⁠McMahons⁠. Check out their website to get a better understanding of their suite of services and outstanding portfolio of work at ⁠www.mcmahons.net.auFrom humble beginnings in Melbourne after finishing school, Michael Henderson found a desire in wanting to understand golf course architecture much more. He read all he could find and put himself on a path to earning an opportunity to work in this rather niche industry.From submitting design work to a golf course architecture competition, to working at Royal Melbourne Golf Club, Michael wanted in on the golf architecture world and nothing was going to stop him. He gained a couple of different opportunities over time working with a couple of well known firms, including shaping on site helping to build the well known and now famous Tara Iti in New Zealand.Fast forward to today and Michael is now a member of the Society of Australian Golf Course architects having completed his own work to redesign an amazing transformation of Mallacoota Golf Club after the devastating 2019 bushfires, along with recent work at Flinders Golf Club on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.Come along for the ride as we launch into Michael's background and career, along with some fun and interesting discussions around courses other than 18 holes.You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper TV - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send me an email to - thegolfinggreenkeeper@gmail.comPeople and places mentioned in this podcast:Holes in the GroundMichael Henderson SAGCA ProfileSociety of Australian Golf Course Architects (SAGCA)The Lakes Golf ClubPennant Hills Golf ClubRoyal Lytham & St Annes Golf ClubSandhurst ClubNorth Berwick Golf ClubHokitika Golf ClubRoyal Melbourne Golf ClubTom DoakTony Cashmore Profile - Planet GolfTara Iti Golf Club13th BeachThe Dunes Golf LinksRenaissance GolfThe National Golf Club - Gunnamatta CourseConcord Golf Club7 Mile BeachClayton DeVries & Pont (CDP)Mallacoota Golf & Country ClubMallacoota's Story - The Victorian Bushfires RememberedCurlewis Golf ClubFlinders Golf ClubWollongong Golf ClubAlister MacKenzie SocietyBarwon Heads Golf ClubNewgreens ChatswoodMoore Park Golf CourseBarnbougle - Bougle RunKingston Heath Golf Club - The FurrowsLatrobe Golf Club - The IslandCommonwealth Golf ClubMetropolitan Golf ClubCrafter Mogford - Golf StrategiesEP.187 The Design Brief - Scott ChampionEP.78 Keeper of the Greens - John MannEP.130 Keeper of the Greens - Adam Lamb

A spiritual school in Victoria teaches that we each have a spiritual guide who we can rely on to help us through life, and that the couple who run the school – Ian and Pearl Rogers – sit on a council alongside entities who have lived many lifetimes before this one. Students are lucky enough to gain access to incredible knowledge through this council, which boasts Leonardo Da Vinci, Mahatma Gandhi, and Lady Di amongst its members. But forum posts dating back to 2012 allege that Sphinx Spiritual has been operating as a cult for many years. It's only now that former members have started speaking out.Part 2 is already available to Patreon supporters, and will be released on the main feed on Wednesday 27 May.Full research sources listed here.

We invited Clayts on to help us profile St Andrews Beach, so naturally the episode opens with a discussion about 1970s house prices, closes with a brilliant Clayts monologue about molded grip trainer clubs and namechecks at least 20 Aussie courses along the journey!Early in the life of this pod, we recorded an episode with Clayts where we discussed a bundle of Mornington Peninsula courses. We thought it was best to go back and revisit some of those layouts, devoting individual episodes to several courses. And who better to discuss St Andrews Beach than Clayts? Co-credited with its creation, he was there when the course was being designed and built, and nobody has completed more laps of the course than Mike.In a wide-ranging chat we talk about the early days of the St Andrews Beach project, when it looked like being a 27-hole project with involvement from Ian Baker-Finch, a 36-hole private club with a buy-in of $50k for a 99-year membership, eventually becoming a publicly accessible 18-hole course, which at one point almost 20 years ago was closed for play and faced with a very uncertain future.Our episode addresses Tom Doak's work and his views on one of his best and favourite creations. A great thread on St Andrews Beach on golfclubatlas - https://www.golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,48455.0.html Another great review by Garrett of Fried Egg Golf –https://www.thefriedegg.com/courses/st-andrews-beach-golf-course And Doak discusses St Andrews Beach back in early 2020 with Andy Johnsonhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/6pmUSLrmApr0pLCTkopL2J?si=r_-Y-KWIR0Wv97reAqq2kw Thanks to Clayts for his time and his continued support of our pod.

So, when they're tasked with locating the recently-stolen ashes of long-dead celebrity tennis player Ashley “Perry” Perrineau, it should be a routine job. But it quickly becomes clear that everyone who knew Perry is keeping secrets: his accountant despises Perry's widower; the sculptor of his statue is hiding something in her studio; his ex-doubles partner is a compulsive liar; and his mother is obsessed with preserving his legacy and her image at all costs.

Send us a textIn this episode, we sit down with Tory Trewhitt - author, executive health coach, exercise physiologist and motivational speaker, who grew up in the Mornington Peninsula and has called Byron Bay home for the past nine years.Tory shares the hard lessons that shaped him, from his early years at an all boys school to heading straight into university and eventually stepping into corporate health. After landing a role with Bupa in London, he worked across fitness-for-duty assessments, drug and alcohol screening and rehabilitation, gaining a close look at the pressures people carry into their working lives.Passionate about his work but candid about the challenges of managing people, Tory reflects on what those early roles taught him about leadership, accountability and human behaviour. He talks about the origins of his book, Blokes Inc - Play a Bigger Game, and why men often bottle up health concerns, struggle with vulnerability and lean away from emotional openness. He also explores whether younger generations are beginning to shift these long-held patterns.Tory speaks openly about addiction, the stories people bring to him, what he has learnt from years of accountability training and rehabilitation work, and how he protects his own wellbeing while supporting others.If you'd like to share your story or provide feedback, please contact us via email at chrishanley@byronbayfn.com

Five World Championships, fifteen Australian Championships, fifty plus State Championships and countless international and local podiums on all manner of yachts. I can say without exaggeration that my special guest, Mark Bulka, from the Mornington Peninsula in Australia, knows a thing or two about winning yacht races.Mark is well known in sailing circles, but not so much is known about him. In this podcast, we get behind the person, talk about his background, his passion for sailing and his formula for winning on the international stage multiple times.This podcast was recorded in front of a live audience at the Sandringham Yacht Club at an event put on by the Australian RS Aero Class Association. The audience contained several world, national and state champions, and you will hear Mark reference them as a hat tip to those who inspire and push him to be better.Mark was also keen in this session to explain his concepts and ideas to those new to yacht racing, whether they be in youth sailing (Mark's kids are racing now) or adults keen to learn more in a new sport. As it is a live podcast, we did have some audience interaction with Mark and Martin Kudnig talking about overseas regatta's. Martin is the former Commodore of Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron and a passionate sailor in the RS Aero and J70 Class.I hope you enjoy this podcast with Mark, who has so much to offer and will be winning races for many years to come.Apart from a busy sailing calendar Mark works as a Yacht Broker, and you can find him at 38 Degree Yacht Sales on LinkedIn and on Instagram @markbulka

In this episode of the REB podcast, host Emilie Lauer sits down with Holly Longmuir, managing director of Buxton Mornington Peninsula, to discuss how real estate, leadership and culture have evolved over nearly four decades. Holly reflects on her start in the industry, from answering phones in her father's agency in the late 1980s to leading five thriving offices today, and the lessons she's learned about resilience, adaptability and maintaining integrity in an ever-changing market. The conversation explores how technology has transformed the speed and transparency of real estate, creating more informed clients and reshaping the agent's role, while reinforcing that relationships, trust and empathy remain at the heart of success. Holly also shares how her leadership approach has matured from aggression to assertiveness, fostering a culture of collaboration, mentorship and emotional intelligence across her team. Turning to the Mornington Peninsula market, Holly explains how data and analytics guide her strategies, from tracking migration trends to navigating the region's diverse micro-markets. Finally, she reflects on the growing influence of women in real estate and how the profession is being redefined by skill, inclusivity and shared values, not gender. Did you like this episode?

Kate Mason was found dancing with tambourines and maracas in a Ballarat carpark just hours after she won the marathon there. And with a win, a course record and a PB of 2:33:55, why wouldn't you?! In this episode of Run With It, Kate recaps her race, including some critical changes she made to her fuelling this time around, and the post marathon carpark DJ set with her training mates. The full-time secondary school teacher (Outdoor and Environmental Studies & PE) trains with her beloved Ninch Track Club (NTC), based on the Mornington Peninsula, just outside of Melbourne. Kate takes us through her transition from an enthusiastic and passionate “jogger” who debuted at Melbourne Marathon in 3:06 in 2014, to winning Ballarat a decade later. She also shares some terrifying experiences of getting the “wobbles” and collapsing during marathons, recounting a particularly scary instance on the Gold Coast. Despite not yet seeing herself as “elite”, Kate continues to improve. She thinks some of her success comes from not taking the sport too seriously. Kate is self-coached, with guidance from her partner Ben and her training crew. The ep closes out with some pencilled in plans for the rest of the year and what motivates her to keep rocking up every day in the dark at 5am for a run. -- Run With It: @runwithit.pod Intro/outro music by Dan Beacom Graphic design by Kate Scheer

In 2014, 11-year-old Luke Batty was murdered by his father at Tyabb cricket ground on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.  The following year a coroner ruled that no one could have predicted that Luke would be killed by his father, but the inquest did point out several gaps in the family violence system in the lead-up to his death.  Ten years on, Luke's mother Rosie remains on the frontline campaigning for change.
