C&G: Hoppin’ Mad for Easter
Hot cross buns, bunnies and chocolate, oh my! With Easter fast approaching, Chisholm and Gamon have gone on the ‘hunt’ to find some of the ‘sweetest’ Easter celebrations Bayside!
Melbourne’s infamous Luna Park is getting into the Easter spirit yet again this year, hosting their fourth annual Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday (April 20th). Luna Park’s Mr. Moon invites children from all over Melbourne to join in the hunt for hundreds of Easter eggs hidden all over the park, which commences at 11am sharp. The morning promises to be full of ‘sweet’ surprises, including free face painting for the kids, a meet and greet with the Easter Bunny himself and stilt-walkers handing out chocolates galore. But wait, there’s more! For the first time ever, family-fun ride the ‘Sizzler’ will be at the park. Prepare to be spun round and around - however be careful not to indulge too much in all the chockies before taking a ride. An event sure to get the kids ‘eggcited’ this Easter, so ‘hop’ to it!
Location: Luna Park – 18 Lower Esplanade, St Kilda 3182
Cost: Entry is free

Nothing says Easter like Hot Cross Buns! And we know just the place for some of the best buns Bayside! Established in 1901, Ferguson Plarre Bakehouse is a franchise with a ‘hot’ secret! They don’t give too much away, however we do know that their buns are handmade everyday, and that 58% of the weight of them is pure fruit! They are only around for a limited time, so ‘get them while they’re hot!’
