Meet your guide Siri
Hey there! I’m Siri, a proud mum to two wild, adventurous boys (2 and 4 years old) who keep me on my toes. Our family’s mission? To uncover Melbourne’s most unique and fun-filled activities and share them with YOU, so you can create unforgettable memories with your little ones.
From playgrounds to penguins, and everything in between, we’re always on the move—and loving every minute of it!
But that’s not all. With over a decade of experience in content creation, I’ve worn many hats: starting my own social media agency in 2011, working in-house as a digital marketing manager, and now running Siri The Agency with my husband, Harlan (a creative director and designer). Since launching in 2020, we’ve serviced over 350 businesses, many of them in the children’s space.
So that’s when Melbourne With Siri was born. This passion project combines my love for family adventures and supporting local businesses. Whether you’re a parent searching for unique experiences or a business looking to collaborate, I’d love to connect.
Let’s inspire families, create unforgettable moments, and expose all the incredible places Melbourne and Victoria have to offer, together.

With a phased build underway, exciting additions like a skate park, café, nature play areas, and more shaded spaces are coming soon. It’s perfect for families looking to spend the day outside!
The park is located on Lansell Avenue in Officer.
