Find the perfect match at Pair’d

A foraged feast in an enchanted forest. Local luminaries cooking alongside Michelin-star chefs. A rock star turned winemaker manning the decks by the beach. Chefs spinning records as well as plates. A cookbook queen singing opera at an exclusive tasting. These creative combinations are all part of Pair’d, a four-day wine, food and music festival celebrating everything the spectacular Margaret River Region has to offer from 14 to 17 November 2024.
Mitchell Falls

Fall in love with the Kimberley

When it rains in Australia’s North West, it pours. As the heavens open every wet season, they leave their magical mark all over this vast wilderness in the shape of wondrous waterfalls. While some flow year round, they burst into life from December to April, crashing down ancient cliffs and towering over ochre gorges. Many are only accessible by boat, plane or helicopter; others are just a short drive from Kununurra (Goonoonoorrang). No matter how you reach the

Working on a dream

When videos tell most of the story, the words should just work with them. Loved writing the series of extended captions for Tourism Western Australia's campaign to encourage people to work in tourism and hospitality.

Pleasure Garden, Fringe World

Colour your world

Where can you watch humans fly, sing with stars, laugh with clowns, dance with queens and mingle with mermaids – all in one day? Step into Fringe World, the funny, freaky and fabulous festival that lights up Perth (Boorloo) and surrounds every summer. It’s a world awash with all the colours of the rainbow, where music, mayhem and more than a little mischief await. Discover the joys of a month-long cultural fiesta where everyone is welcome and the only limit is your imagination.

Driving traditions

Road trips are as much about the journey as the destination, even when the destinations are spectacular. They are a chance to connect with each other as well as the wonders of the country. What better way to transport your travels than with the addition of a few road trip traditions. Australian driving holidays are rich in time-honoured rituals that magnify the memories of a road well-travelled, of a trip worth taking. Make yours go the distance with a truly local flavour.

Go above and beyond

Impossible colours shift across ancient landscapes and along endless oceans, inviting you to come closer, to see the dream slowly taking shape and discover the marvels below. Strawberry milkshakes dot green fields. Giant, almost phantasmic, figures weave through turquoise waters. Orange and black beehives rise from rusty plains. Shimmering salt blankets the landscape like a beacon in a sea of red. Welcome to Western Australia from above, where nothing feels quite real, and everything is awe-insp

Great Southern Land - Tourism

Feel the magic of an ancient land. Welcome to Menang Boodja, where ocean giants come to feed, granite ranges keep floral secrets and towering trees tingle. Awash with untamed beauty, the spectacular Great Southern casts a spell on all who meander through its majestic forests, wander along its dramatic coastline or nestle into its sheltered coves. Follow the highways, tracks and trails into this corner of the South West for a road trip that will lift your spirits.

Southern Forests food tour

As dozens of eggs roll off a machine, Coleen is carefully inspecting them for cracks with an infra-red light, which makes the flaws in the shell easier to see. The chooks are moved around the property in their purpose-built trailers, going from one green pasture to the next, to keep them healthy. “It’s why we have such a good quality egg,” Charlie says. And why they’d never risk selling one with even a hairline crack that most of us would struggle to see.
Garum, Westin Hotel Perth

Grand central station

I blame the magic hands. I was standing in the lobby of the Westin, trying to attract my date’s attention without drawing attention to myself. If you happened to observe this exchange — and I sincerely hope you didn’t — it involved a lot of hand signals and mouthing along the lines of “hurry up, get in the lift” on my part and “what on earth are you doing, what are you on about” on his.
