"Bringing together a star-studded lineup of live music with the flavours and scenery of South Australia’s wine country, the festival promises to be an unforgettable two days in the sun. It’s all set to go down on Peramangk land, at Tomich Wines in Woodside, South Australia."
Travel and Leisure
"After the hustle and bustle of mainland Bali, getting off the boat in Nusa Penida felt like exhaling a breath you didn’t know you were holding. The island is lush, untouched, and wild. There is a spark in the air — it is equal parts exhilarating, freeing, and nerve-racking."
Vacationer
"Walking into Beans Bar in Melbourne’s Fitzroy neighborhood, guests will notice its cozy décor of leaves and mirrors that give the space a calm and natural atmosphere–a safe haven in the middle of a bustling city...
Beans Bar is the first bar in Melbourne that’s solely dedicated to lesbian, trans, and neurodivergent patrons."

"In a blur of smoke and colourful graphics, Dope Lemon and the band took to the stage in funky, autumn-coloured suits and wide-brimmed hats...
The classic, dreamy theatre was delightfully juxtaposed by the eccentric projections on stage. If you looked up you could see Greek statues, but if you looked forward it was like watching Rick and Morty, Midnight Gospel or some other trippy adult animation show."
Vacationer
"One of the most surprising highlights of my trip [to Bali] was a drag show that I attended at the Inklusiv Warung. The warung only hires local people, and many members of the waitstaff are deaf or hard of hearing. Throughout the drag show, the hosts taught Indonesian sign language, a tarot reader provided live readings, and local drag performers put on extravagant lip-syncing performances.
I left the performance feeling warm and hopeful."

"Since the death of George Floyd, artists throughout the country are transforming boarded-up buildings and city walls as their canvasses to display messages of hope and healing.
Young artists at the forefront of this movement are using their creativity as a form of activism."
