Melbourne hosted the biggest events of the 2011 tour! We had a fantastic crowd of over 400 people. It was fantastic to see such an enthusiastic group of people who are really into their raw food.
As a part of our Melbourne visit we also did a Hot Springs Trip on the Friday between the Thursday ight and all day Saturday evemts. The Peninsula Hot Springs are such an amazing place and I highly recommend going there if you ever get the opportunity. There were several hot pools, where each one increases in temperature by a couple of degrees, until you get to the point where you can barely stand it! Amongst that there were cold plunge pools to alternate with the hot, and we had deep and meaningful conversations with David in the sauna and pools - an absolutely heavenly way to spend the afternoon!
After our day at the Hot Springs we went to Pepper Moonah Links Resort, where Paul from Fresh Fork created the most incredible menu.
We also had some fantastic sponsors at the Melbourne events who I would like to thank:
- Lucy Stegley from Raw Events was our Melbourne organiser and did an amazing job!
- Julie from Conscious Choice had a table displaying her superfood, supplements. books and and other products. If you can get to one of Julie’s raw food classes, you will be in for a treat!
- Samudra bought with them quite a few superfood and raw vegan snack products with them from their amazing yoga centre, café and shop in WA. They also run surfing & yoga retreats and we will be holding a retreat there with David Wolfe towards the end of February.

- Miessence the world’s first and most successful organic personal care, health and cleaning products company in the world were represented by Alora & Brian, who put together the most beautiful display.
- Veritas Magazine were a valued sponsor, they have a fairly new conscious magazine that comes highly recommended.
