Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is an Australian television series that debuted in 2012. It's about a glamorous female private detective who solves crimes in Melbourne in the 1920s and based on the novels of Kerry Greenwood. Three seasons were produced and all 34 episodes are available on Netflix. The show is popular and the show has been aired in more than 100 countries.

A lot of filming took place at Rippon Lea House and Gardens about 7 km (4,25 miles) which we didn't visit. Following an afternoon tea, we covered about a six-block area of Melbourne. Apparently the show was filmed on a shoestring budget. Filming usually took place early on Sunday mornings when fewer people were out and about. The National Trust allowed filming at the town hall, parliament buildings and the treasury, among other places. As we walked around, we were shown video clips from the show.
At the end of the tour we were treated to a Phryne Fisher inspired cocktail at the Gin Palace. I'm not a gin drinker as I don't care for the taste of juniper. The drink was made with a local gin, vermouth, apple liqueur and pear cider. It was pretty tasty.
The tour was pretty interesting and not just for the references to the show. We got the inside scoop on several of Melbourne's heritage buildings which blend with contemporary architecture. 
The thing that really stands out to me is that the city is home to many funky buildings. There's nothing "cookie cutter" about the local architecture.
