The complete diversion from ‘normal’ life in 2020 has restricted us in so many ways. But sometimes, that’s how the magic happens.
Such has been the case with artist Jasmine Mansbridge, stylist Megan Morton and photographer Zan Wimberley. Despite having never worked together before, the trio collaborated on a shoot for a series of sculptures called Thought Catchers that Jasmine was due to show in a COVID-thwarted exhibition.

There’s something special about Emu Bay. Just ask Richard and Emily Young, who met on its sands as young adults, and were married 12 months later. They’ve each been holidaying at Kangaroo Island for 50 years, and both were there to defend the island from the devastating bushfires earlier this year.
The pair have now transformed their family holiday homes on the 5km stretch of secluded beach at Emu Bay into accommodation (which were fortunately spared in the fires). Hamilton House is a retro 1960s beach house with all the modern conveniences, while Dune House is a totally new build, set into the landscape and overlooking the bay.
Searching for the dream Australian beach holiday? You’ve found it!
