Perth WA: Most Isolated City On Earth!

November 27, 2015

If you follow me on social media, you will know that I was privileged to visit Perth, Western Australia last week for a brief stint. This is my fifth visit to Perth and all have been work trips, but I have managed to get out and about a little when in the west, particularly when I extended one of my stays over an adjoining weekend and my Mum flew over to explore with me. Perth is touted as one the most isolated cities in the world and with a population of just under two million in many respects it is like a big country town, but it has much to offer visitors whether it be for a pit stop like me or a longer stay. If you read my last post you will know that I lost my phone recently and while I do now have a replacement, the vast majority of my photos from Perth were lost with it. Luckily, I did save a handful before I lost it which was more good luck than good management because I never do this. I’m sharing my favourite things to do plus where to stay, eat and shop, when you visit Perth. Read on for all the details …

Crown Towers Melbourne Deluxe Villa Review

Fash Packing by Sydney Fashion Hunter: Crown Towers Melbourne Deluxe Villa Review

Regular readers will know that I visit Melbourne frequently for business, in fact, I’m down there so often I am practically a local (read about my ultimate girls weekend here). Well, maybe not, but I have been enough times (roughly 100!) to have well and truly decided on my favourite place to stay. Last visit I was lucky enough to experience the opulent luxury of a Crown Towers Melbourne Deluxe Villa. Crown Towers caters to the discerning traveler and regardless of whether you are visiting for business or leisure, I just know you will love this hotel as much as I do. Read on for all the details …

My Hometown: See Sydney Like A Local

May 29, 2015

Fash Packing by Sydney Fashion Hunter: Sydney Like A Local - Sydney Harbour Bridge & Opera House

*** Last Updated April 2019 ***

So it probably doesn’t come as too much as a surprise to you that I am a very proud Sydney Sider, but what did come as a surprise to me is that only 9% of my readers are from this wonderful city I call home. Google analytics is a wonderful thing isn’t it? Anyhoo, it got me thinking that maybe I should do my bit for Destination NSW and do a little bragging on here about all the things that make Sydney so fabulous. Thinking of visiting Sydney? I’ll help you avoid the tourist traps and see Sydney like a local. Read on for all the details …

Restaurant Review: Nobu Melbourne

December 12, 2014

Sydney Fashion Hunetr Nobu Melbourne

This weekend I’m in Melbourne with The Enabler. While I’m down here a lot for work mid week, I don’t get out and about much so this is a rare opportunity to sample some of what this city has to offer. Melbourne is renowned as a foodie town and tonight we are dining at Nobu Melbourne. Nobu is quite possibly the worlds most recognised Japanese restaurant, which first opened its doors in New York in 1994 as a partnership between chef Nobu Matsuhisa, actor Robert De Niro and producer Meir Teper. Since then it has gone from strength to strength popping up in some of the world’s sexiest locations such as Los Angeles, Waikiki, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, London, Moscow, Dubai and of course Melbourne. Earlier this year I was gifted a dining voucher for Nobu in recognition of my 50th stay at Crown Towers (read my review here) and quite frankly it’s been burning a hole in my pocket ever since but I was waiting for a special occasion and this weekend is perfect. So how was my first Nobu experience? Read on for all the details …
