Dylan Alcott's inclusive and full accessible music festival returns to Melbourne and expands to Brisbane in October.
The Best Things to Do On, By and Near the Water in Brisbane
This weekend, you can knock back pani puri shots and $5 cocktails, catch a 'The Lord of the Rings' movie marathon — extended cuts and all — or tuck into a truffle feast.
After debuting Down Under in 2023, the fest has locked in a second Aussie run in December 2024, with Alesso, Gryffin, Austin Millz and Daya also on the bill.
Classic dishes and boundary-pushing fusions are on the menu at a restaurant inspired by the "resilience and freedom" of women in Indian culture.
Patron feedback has indicated that visitors are "wishing to spend longer with the sanctuary's koalas and their passionate wildlife care team, without necessarily holding them".
Calling all Sydney stargazers: head to the Northern Beaches for the city's clearest views of the universe.
