Adelaide is a city that I have to say didn’t feature on my list of ‘must sees’ but I found myself pleasantly surprised. Khai Liew’s furniture showroom on Magill Road was a highlight as was the superbly curated Museum of Economic Botany. In fact the museum alone made the trip worthwhile …and I [...]

The Best Christmas Window this year goes to my favourite vintage furniture store in Sydney, Ken Neale’s Twentieth Century Modern. There’s not a snippet of tinsel in site.

A friend of mine remarked to me a few months ago that “if you can’t be bothered with a plane ride to New York, Melbourne is definitely the next best thing,” which is a rather big call. However like New York, Melbourne is a vibrant, thriving city with a style and a modus operandi all [...]

Caine Edwards, the restaurant manager, was working the night we [...]

Whilst staying in Paddington a few months ago, I met Mrs. Rutonski on her way to see the Sydney Swans play at the nearby SCG. I was impressed by her matching jacket, hat, scarf and backpack in Swans’ colours, topped off with an Adam Schneider badge, and she was kind enough to let me take [...]
