Excellent Thai. Down-side is that it is quite tiny with tables too close together. But they do 'take away' or go early before the crowd.

Sightseeing
A stroll down Rathdowne St, North Carlton window-shopping is a must. A very gentle, heart-warming strip.
(Those needing more excitement should focus on Brunswick - Sydney Rd and/or Lygon St. Or further afield, Brunswick St, Fitzroy; Richmond; CBD; South Bank; or St Kilda).

Parks & Nature
Our very own Hardy Gallagher Reserve. A great picnic spot in summer. A good place to kick footballs or throw Frisbees. Has a nice children's playground with slides & swings, etc.
There are also two free BBQs outside the Railway house.

One of the great Melbourne parks. Has a great running track around it. Just a lovely park to stroll around or walk through. Invariably, a few sports games to watch if you have time on your hands.
Also has a really excellent children's playground on Cnr of Gratton & Macpherson.

Entertainment & Activities
What more is there to say. Simply follow the bike path west and you will come to it. Too big to do in a single day with small children. Merits 2 or more visits every few years.
