Melbourne Weekender is an Australian travel and lifestyle show featuring various locations in Melbourne and Victoria, and showing destinations and experiences which can be enjoyed on a weekend.[1] The weekly, half-hour program is produced by Seven Productions.

History

The series made its debut on 6 August 2005,[2] gracing screens every Saturday at 5:30 pm. Initially hosted by Peter Mitchell, then later transitioned to Jo Silvagni. Produced by Dreampool Productions,[3] the show showcased a dynamic roster of hosts exploring a multitude of themes ranging from gardening, pet care, and home improvement to fishing, boating, dining, entertainment, and recommendations for family outings across Melbourne.

On 27 June 2015,[4] the show returned to air with host Cameron Ling and a team of reporters.[1] A revival in 2019 was titled "The Great Weekend" and was presented by Jane Bunn, Brian Taylor, Jack Riewoldt, Brooke Hogan and Pete Lazer.[5] The Great Weekend premiered on 24 February 2019 in Melbourne, screening nationally on 7two.[6] In November 2019, the Seven Network announced the show had been cancelled with final episodes screening in early 2020.[7]

In April 2024, the Seven Network revived Melbourne Weekender with a new presenting team consisting of Nicky Buckley, Gary Mehigan, Bonnie Anderson, Brad Hodge, Jane Bunn, Sonia Marinelli and Abbey Holmes.[8] The show will begin airing from 14 April 2024 in a 5:30 pm timeslot.[9]
