“Jason Donavan! OMG – is that you?” I thought to myself as I watched segments of the performances during the media call. The makeup and costumes of the brilliant cast reflect the intricacies of the “Rocky Horror” legacy that’s much more complicated than the “The Time Warp” of “jump to the left … and then…

The Mousetrap: Theatre review
I went to see Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap last night at the Theatre Royal Sydney and it’s definitely a must see show. The Mousetrap is currently playing at the Theatre Royal, Sydney until 30 October. The Mousetrap has all the hallmarks of a good mystery: A young couple have opened a guest house near London…
Flavours By The Sea hosted by Central Coast Council
To me the Central Coast has always been a culinary trip on the coast that’s ‘doable’ over a weekend. Being just under two hours drive from Sydney and people phased out by the the uncertainty of sudden border closures if they move across interstate borders due to COVID, travel and exploring places to see, taste…

Travel diary: Trip to Berry to support regional NSW
What a wonderful feeling to be able to get out of the house after 3 months of lockdown and on the road again to the South Coast of NSW. I’m grateful to be living in Australia. I was excited and relieved and was really itching to get out and about. The last time I was…

This year was extra special too because my family from Canada joined us in Sydney to celebrate. There are also plenty tasty reasons to head to Chatswood for the Lunar New Year Festivities…
A trip to the new Sydney Zoo in Bungarribee
“It looks like a zoo but doesn’t smell like a zoo” as my family observantly noted. “It feels like the National Zoo in Canberra”, another one said. Sydney Zoo is the newest and major zoo to open in the heart of Western Sydney in the suburb of Bungarribee, near Blacktown in NSW. Currently, Sydney Zoo…
Captain Cook Cruises offers new 2020 Gold Lunch Series on Sydney Harbour
I love dining at venues where it goes beyond just great food but gives you an experience to remember. For me, great food is a given when dining out and I crave something more. I was introduced to cruising and waterfront dining in style for a few hours on Sydney Harbour on board one of…

On 21 November 2019 we celebrated National Agriculture Day thanks to Syngenta and the National Farmers’ Federation. We connected with farmers, growers, agrologists, people in ag-tech, and others who work in the industry and shared stories of the passion of farming, agriculture, current issues over a delicious lunch of shared plates at Luke’s Kitchen in…
PARKROYAL Parramatta brings Taste of Asia
The Parkroyal Parramatta brings a special culinary experience to Sydney and Parramatta. There was nothing more memorable from a trip in Singapore than a delicious mouth-watering plate of Singaporean Chilli Crab I had for dinner accompanied with Chinese style fried bread or ‘mantou’. I would reach out for a mantou and dunk and swipe it…
