The Best Things to Do On, By and Near the Water in Brisbane
This contemporary brasserie is the brainchild of three hospo heavyweights who collectively own eight drinking and dining venues in Melbourne — with Ruby their ninth jewel in the crown.
The 14-storey hotel has brought on hatted Young Chef of the Year Nicholas Deligiannis to run the culinary program.
This weekend, you can road trip to East Gippsland's month-long winter festival, score 18-cent pizzas on Chapel Street and sample not-so-classic snags at a pub's own sausage festival.
From live music in the Royal Exhibition Building to an audiovisual installation above the Yarra, this year's lineup is full of highlights.
