    Gami Chicken and Beer Box Hill - Melbourne Food Blogger
    GAMI CHICKEN AND BEER - BOX HILL'S DELICIOUS LITTLE SECRET Tucked away under an office building on Whitehorse Road in Box Hill, in Melbourne's eastern suburbs is Gami. I hadn't heard of it before today. Given the little "chicken bender" that my brother Phil and I have been on over the last couple of months, I figured when he suggested it that I had to go there!

    The right tools for the job

    They say that to do a good job, you should always use the right tools. In past lives I have been an automotive mechanic and a flexographic printer. These jobs taught me that if you use cheap tools or the wrong tool, you will end working twice as hard, or worse - damaging something that will cost you real money, or worse still - causing someone an injury. To that end, in my second life as a photographer, I've always strived to have the best possible equipment to ensure that I can deliver the ... Continue Reading
