You'll find the pair's first Queensland eatery at The Sundays hotel from late-April 2025 — but while the ocean's finest is on the menu, it isn't a seafood joint.
'Banquet', 'Helicopter', 'This Modern Love', 'Like Eating Glass': they'll all be on the setlist on this seven-city tour.
As the River City was closing down ahead of Tropical Cyclone Alfred, so was this favourite — but permanently, sadly.
2024 Booker Prize-winner Samantha Harvey, 'Brooklyn' author Colm Tóibín, Australian 'Big Little Lies' wordsmith Liane Moriarty: they're all on the lineup.
This weekend, you can drink wine and get a free tattoo by the river, see a couple of stage hits and go for a putt.
Before he was tasked with playing the righthand man to a wannabe dictator — and before featuring in 'Okja', too — the Australian actor met the acclaimed South Korean director courtesy of his first film role.
