I’m not entirely sure how I landed the gig of TDF’s resident travel writer, but I’m certainly not complaining about it!
A few weeks ago I was lucky to stay at the impressive boutique hotel, Lindenderry at Red Hill, where the robes are fluffy, the grounds are grand, and interiors brand-new!
I didn’t notice my chipped nail polish until I walked into a room full of beauty editors.
I was at Halcyon House in Cabarita Beach, one of the best loved boutique hotels in Australia, to see the development of the new resort spa, alongside editors from all the major publications. SOMEHOW, I had forgotten to remove the remnants of a forgotten pedicure I’d had eight months ago.
Sorry Mum.

As Head of Art at Leonard Joel auction house, Sophie Ullin is one lucky woman who has the job of frequenting the world’s premier art fairs, exhibitions and biennales. Yet, of all her incredible experiences (we’re feeling the #FOMO!), the city that has captivated her the most, and inspired her own personal guide is… Venice!
After being part of the Australia Council tour group to the City of Canals for the past two decades, earlier this year Sophie decided it was time to release The Venice Book. For this hardcover, she’s also enlisted an awe-inspiring band of creatives, travel editors, art aficionados and philanthropists to open their own ‘black books and memory banks’ and offer up the best of the city, from fabulous artworks, churches and museums to authentic eateries and artisanal treasure troves. There’s also a solid-gold guide to navigating the Biennale, the ‘Olympics of the art world’, which is on now.
Today, Sophie gives us an insight into her Venice highlights – get your itinerary app ready!
