“This one made me laugh straight away. Only in Melbourne could a map and a Hook Turn feel this iconic. Looks great, works well, and reminds me of home every time I use it.”

Jamie


Description

From “just chuck it in the glovebox” to arguments over page numbers, the Melway was less a map and more a personality test. Dubbed “the Melways” by locals who swore by it, it lived in cars, boats, and anywhere you might get lost — which was often before GPS. And then there’s Melbourne’s most confusing icon: “Right Turn from Left Only.” If you’ve driven through the city, you’ve likely faced the dreaded hook turn… and maybe even panicked mid-intersection. It’s baffled tourists, learner drivers, and even locals for over a century.

Combine the two in these Iconic Melbourne Melway & Hook Turn Dish Cloths that celebrate two of Melbourne’s quirkiest traditions, old-fashioned map reading and Hook Turns. Made from natural fibres, it’s the kind of kitchen essential that works hard but still knows how to have a little fun. Pair it with one of our Tea Towels for the ultimate Aussie gift, perfect for sending overseas or keeping a little taste of home close by.
