Our travels start in Alice Springs where we meet retired nurse Deanna Bitar and her husband Samih at the extraordinary home they’ve owner-built on a hill overlooking the beautiful Macdonnell Ranges. Our travels then head to Victoria where we visit a gorgeous garden at Tatong and the house Janelle Marsden built overlooking the vines of Porepunkah’s Feathertop Winery, both in the north-east of the state. We then venture south to Willow Grove in the foothills of the Baw Baw Ranges for a heartwarming story about how the collaboration of two women has injected new energy into their businesses as well as fresh perspective on their personal lives. Our travel story covers the Great Ocean Road and we also visit Tasmania for a profile on restaurateur and fragrance-company founder Hayley Self. The issue is also packed with design and decorating inspiration.
