The Best Things to Do On, By and Near the Water in Brisbane
The comedian, 'Always Be My Maybe' writer and actor, and 'Dear Girls' author is hitting Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland.
From high-flying fine-diners in the CBD to tried-and-true neighbourhood haunts — these are the Melbourne restaurants we'd recommend to a friend (you, dear reader).
Even though it's set within Kardinia Park, the new Chin Chin in Geelong isn't just for sports fans.
The permanent ode will be made out of bronze, measure six-metres wide and sit outside Suncorp Stadium.
This week in Melbourne, you can frolic in flowers at the Tesselaar Kabloom festival, head to St Kilda for a dessert degustation, or join a taco and tequila party on the Yarra.
"You become an expert in the dunes," explains the Aussie talent, who started his career two decades ago in homegrown shorts, and was also Academy Award-nominated for 'Lion'.
