Harvest Cafe, 256 Maroondah Highway, Healesville
Ventured in for breakfast one morning, on the recommendation of the tourist info centre, and was delighted with the outdoor courtyard. I can’t remember what I ate because I was completely distracted by a well known TV personality coming in for a coffee. He asked me if I’d finished with the newspaper, and I probably muttered something unintelligible as I passed it to him. I then tried not to stare as he proceeded to have a coffee and chat with his partner, and discussed forthcoming work with his agent on the phone. I wanted to go over to him after and say how much I admired his work and how lovely it was to see him in person, but he was no doubt wanting some anonymity and quiet time and I didn’t want to intrude. But my little brush with fame has kept me going to this day. Ahhh – the joys of celebrity.
