Greater Frankston has been the hub for creatives, purveyors of fine food and movers and groovers since Joan Lindsay wrote Picnic at Hanging Rock at Mulberry Hill. With artists such as Harry McClelland, who held court with his artistic band of bohemians at what is now known as McClelland Park, this is the place where dreams and schemes gather.
Jump forward to today and this ever-changing city by the bay is home to award-winning restaurants that deliver international flavours and urban-edge café creators who provide contemporary and adventurous dining alternatives for foodie fanatics. The streets are dotted with delicious coffee and dining choices and art, while summer comes alive with waterfront activities, performing artists and Frankston residents living the good life to the gentle hum of the gateway to the Peninsula.
Culture and community are at the core of Frankston and surrounds. Whether it’s the hip crew getting together at one of the many bars, breweries and cafes along Kananook Creek and further inland, or the stellar arts precinct that provides world-class music, art exhibitions and performance alternatives, this is a region that’s ready to generate and activate. Big business has come to town and so have choice, selection and reinvention. From Korean to European to modern Asian or Australian cuisines and the delivery of premium spirits and freshly brewed beer, get set to be wowed by a ramped-up version of a city with a view to Melbourne’s skyline hovering on the horizon.
Cool, conversational and friendly – that’s Frankston.
