• Valley girl

    After spending all morning (and into the early afternoon) tasting (oh, and drinking too) the finer things that Brisbane has to offer, it was time to check into our suite at the Emporium Hotel in Fortitude Valley. I’d been told 10 years ago, “the Valley” – as it’s known to locals – was not the most desirable district in Brisbane. Since then however, it’s undergone an extreme makeover to emerge the hottest place in town. This is where you want to be for the best bars, clubs, restaurants and boutiques in the city. Sounds like my kind of hood.

  • Definitely nothing to wine about

    If someone asked me where to find the best wine in Australia, normally I’d say the Hunter Valley, Barossa region or even Margaret River. In all honesty, I’ve never thought of Queensland as somewhere I would taste a good drop. Oh, how wrong I was.

  • This Little Piggy Went To The Market …

    On board Virgin flight DJ917 bound for Brisbane, my sister Kate, best friend Lauren and I couldn’t have cared less there were headphones available. Ahead of us lay a whole weekend dedicated to our two biggest guilty pleasures in life: food and wine, and all we wanted to do ogle over the list of award-winning restaurants on our itinerary.
