Northside Design Ride is an invitation to embrace the art of taking it slow, on two wheels, and to see the city through a different lens. We’re partnering with WALKENS House of Film, who have become a home for those seeking an analogue lifestyle in our digital world. Their expert Film Lab team will be processing our films and the moments captured from our ride.
WALKENS House of Film is an independent film photography store and film lab, dedicated to making shooting film easy for all. Supplying film and camera essentials to Aussies and abroad for over ten years, WALKENS was born in a time when film was expensive, hard to find, and came with no customer service. WALKENS’ goal has always been to create a welcoming, inclusive space packed with all sorts of photography fun and related gear. This philosophy informed the fit-out of their Fitzroy store (designed by the WALKENS team themselves), featuring a distinct mid-century aesthetic with warm lighting, rich materials, iconic 35mm film display wall, and good old-fashioned friendly service!

Join mosey, Zachary Frankel and Tilly Barber (founder of Monde Studio) for a special visit to their showroom and creative event space Hotel House.

All wheels welcome
Zachary Frankel’s multidisciplinary practice encompasses furniture, lighting, sculpture, and objects. His work often draws inspiration from historical styles, reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens. Whether crafting by hand or employing modern technology, Frankel believes in the value of all tools and techniques, seeing each as an opportunity to push the boundaries of design. This philosophy results in pieces that blur the lines between functional design and sculptural art, offering a unique perspective in the design landscape.
Monde Studio, founded by Tilly Barber, produces universal modular seating that is made in Australia and designed to be used, not preserved.Modelled on the contours of the human form, the sweeping curves of The Monde Seating System commands comfort in a relaxed, reclined position. They are sculpted from Green Tag certified foam, paying equal ode to ergonomics and the environment. With no internal mechanisms or complex parts, Monde’s philosophy resists cyclical trends and planned obsolescence in furniture manufacturing, producing products designed to be passed from one generation to the next.

Campaspe Mill Distillery is housed within a beautiful bluestone mill built during the gold rush era on the banks of the Campaspe River. We visited recently and loved exploring this gin distillery and bistro surrounded by a landscaped European-style garden.
We tried their ruby gin with its delicious citrus flavours and the dry gin with rosemary and herbaceous notes. We sat outside in the autumn sun, overlooking the garden and sculptures by local artists. And couldn't resist a serve of the freshly baked sticky date pudding!
They craft their gin range on site – try a gin flight, house-made cocktails, or classic G&Ts. The food menu offers sharing plates with local cheese and charcuterie, light meals like toasties and soup, plus lasagne and tart du jour. Be sure to wander through the small museum or peek at the working distillery. For something special, book the VIP tasting experience in the upstairs speakeasy with its full-size billiards table and vintage artwork.
Campaspe Mill Distillery is one of the stops from our (recently updated) Kyneton guide. To learn more, or to purchase the guide, click the link in our bio.

Candle Kids Coffee is a specialty coffee shop and cafe in the buzzing neighbourhood of Bellville — ringed by parks and gardens that over look the city. An area we are keen to explore more on our next trip to Paris on top of a hill.
The cafe's beautiful interiors – of stone columns, floor-to-ceiling windows, zinc-topped timber bar and soaring ceiling – perfectly compliment the fashion-forward locals who regularly visit. The interiors were intended to feel like a living space, with friendly service and a genuine neighbourhood-hub feeling (where everyone knows everyone), adding to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Alongside the standard coffees on offer, you’ll also find matcha lattes, hot chocolate and their signature hot drink of espresso with milk and Savoie mountain honey. The food menu is limited but delicious, with breakfast items including pastries, granola and savoury morning buns.
Candle Kids Coffee is a sidewalk included in our Saint-Ambroise neighbourhood guide - available through the link in our bio.
Mullumbimby Continental is a euro bistro and wine bar, a fun and friendly venue serving delicious drinks and even better food.
The Conti’s menu changes with the seasons – we had air dried yellow fin tuna toast, stracciatella with tomato, basil & green olives, beef meatballs with tomato, basil sugo & provolone, and an incredible (and huge!) pork cottaletta, with parmesan, capers, lemon, sage & pickled fennel, and some amazing Ballina prawns. There are local beers on tap, local spirits, classic cocktails and a great selection of natural wines. We sat out on the street with Lotti, which was great for people-watching, but inside the vibes are high, with a moody bar and great beats playing throughout the night. The Conti is open, and busy, seven nights a week, and they serve breakfast on weekends too.
Mullumbimby Continental is one of the stops in our free Mullumbimby neighbourhood guide, available via the link in our bio.
