Melbourne Weekender will cover the very best of what Victoria has to offer - from secret city laneways to day trips in the Victorian countryside. |

Born and bred in Victoria, Ling said he is really excited to have a crack at showing viewers the best of our great state. |

“Within an hour’s drive we can travel from a vibrant city to the solitude of the bush,” he said. “It’s all here on our doorstep and I just love it.” |
|||
“Never in a million years did I imagine I’d be a part of a show like this. I’m out of my comfort zone - but I’m passionate about food and travel - which is what the show is all about, so the opportunity to be a part of this is just too good to pass up.” |

Ling is being dropped in the deep end, literally, for his debut on Melbourne Weekender. One of his first stories is swimming with sharks in the Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium. |
|||
“I am an ocean loving person and I am up for any stories that get me in the water,” Ling said. |
|||
From taste-testing steaks at your local BYO restaurant to kayaking down the Yarra River, and everything in between, Melbourne Weekender will cover stories Melburnians will want to see. |
