Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and community guide for Tuesday June 29 to Monday July 5, 2010.

This week... there's little that's new on the festival front, but that's well and truly made up for with the Heart of St Kilda concert featuring a stellar line-up of performers and comedians. There's also a good chance to warm your noggin by checking out the annual Beanie Exhibition with literally hundreds of unique and quirky beanies on display.

If that doesn't cut the mustard for you, just picture what you may have read last week, but add the colour and noise of children, the joy of elbow-height heads knocking the precious first coffee from your hand, and know that it's well and truly the school holidays. Then thank heavens that there's plenty of activities to keep them entertained. That's all for now, I'll be off mopping up coffee.

Trivia
Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
The bionic ear was invented in Melbourne by a team at Melbourne University led by Professor Graeme Clark in 1978.

Research for the invention was funded by the Victorian public through a series of 'telethons' on the then TV Channel 0. Because scientists didn't believe the bionic ear was possible, research funds couldn't be obtained from government granting bodies.
