Plus Taste Great Southern is back and more.

March 05, 2025

Normally our fearless Editor-in-Chief, Troy, is saying g’day from this little corner of the internet – but the lucky duck is having a cheeky holiday, so I’ll be taking the reins today!

While I’m tempted to really throw caution to the wind with some rogue memes and maybe a hot take or two, instead we’re holding onto our dreams of summer with a few stunning getaway ideas (both north and south!), a sun-drenched Beaconsfield home, the long-awaited trailer of the surf thriller starring Nic Cage filmed in Yallingup and more…

(And, of course, the Facebook meat scam to warn your mum about!)
