On a recent trip to Sydney, Australia I was introduced to Spice Alley. What a special culinary experience.
Unless a local makes the introduction, it is unlikely a visitor will find this little gem on their own….so let me introduce you.
Spice Alley, located on Kensington Street, is tucked away on the city side of Central Park just off Broadway on the eastern fringe of Chippendale. The Kensington Street area is steeped in colonial history and presents an idiosyncratic profile of heritage buildings and soaring steel structures.
Spice Alley is home to the Kopi-Tiam; four hawker-style diners under glowing lantern ceilings. This laneway which meanders through the landscape of Asian cuisine is bordered by two small restaurants. -Japanese dining hall KYO-TO and Vietnamese fares from the glass-faced Mekong . Dine on Singaporean dishes at Alex Lee Kitchen, Bang Luck Kitchen, Bang Luck Thai Street Food and Old Jim Kee’s Malaysian spices and Cantonese street food. Spice Alley unites family recipes from across the Asian continent.
Looking to dine where Sydneysiders dine? Spice Alley is the place to visit.
Recently my daughter and I had the opportunity to experience Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island.
From the moment we landed in Kingscote, we were treated like royalty. We were quickly whisked away in a comfortable and luxurious van for our hour long roadtrip to the southern side of the island.
Upon arriving at the gated property, each guest receives a warm welcome and glass of bubbles. No queues at this check-in. With your own Guest Services member, guests are seated in the Great Room facing the magnificent view that is the Southern Ocean. Here guests receive an overview of the Lodge, their accommodation, the meals and their personalised touring itinerary.
Freycinet Marine Oyster Farm has THE experience for all you oyster lovers.

Where? The beautifully situated Saffire Freycinet located on the East Coast of Tasmania.
Saffire Freycinet’s complimentary Marine Oyster Farm experience is one of the many activities included at this Luxury Lodge of Australia. Where else can you shuck oysters straight from the farm?

Twelve Apostles Lodge Walk is an exclusive 4 day 3 night guided experience and is the perfect short break hiking holiday. Taking in the last half of the Great Ocean Walk from Castle Cove (40-56km), this walk is east to west and ends at the Twelve Apostles with a scenic helicopter flight showing you the end of the track you just walked. An Apostle in its truest sense is a messenger, a wanderer, a journeyman, but one with a destination in mind. For four days your anticipation grows for the limestone rock stacks that stand strong against the wild southern ocean. Twelve originally, but four have succumbed to the relentlessness of nature.
Fear not, time will ensure other sections of the cliff take their place. There’s no doubt you will come with the Apostles as your goal, but perhaps another section of the trail will ambush your heart and make itself your favourite. Personal epiphanies are often had while walking the two kilometre stretch of Johanna Beach, moments of realisation that the simple things in life are what matter from the lookout at Ryan’s Den, new friendships cemented in the wide Australian bush trail from Moonlight Head to The Gables and many a “Day 2” is gasped at the end as being both challenging and rewarding. Tackle that and people can take on the world.
The sum of our parts add up to something pretty special, but a large piece in the puzzle is the trail. We utilise a trail known as the Great Ocean Walk, which runs from Apollo Bay in the East to the Twelve Apostles in the West. The Twelve Apostles Lodge Walk uses the second half, the section from Castle Cove to the Apostles themselves, via Johanna Beach and Moonlight Head. It is up to 55km in length, but there are options for shorter days and of course our team and the comfortable lodge are your support along the way.
BridgeClimb equips you to scale to the summit of the nationally-adored Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The brainchild of businessman Paul Cave, this incredible local experience became a reality after Paul pioneered a group climb as part of the Young Presidents Organisation World Congress in 1989. Nine years later, BridgeClimb opened to the public.
With in excess of 3 million local and international visitors who have climbed the Bridge, it is the #1 unmissable experience of Sydney.
On a recent visit to Australia, I had the opportunity to climb the bridge for the 5th time. It was just as exhilerating as my first climb. It is hard to beat the views from the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge not to mention the sense of accomplishment.
