I was lucky enough to spend a weekend in Melbourne recently: catching up with friends, eating and drinking my way around the city, and enjoying a few quiet nights in a hotel. What a treat!

The two pieces that I wrote for Time Out a couple of months ago are now online.
One is about the top things to do in Tasmania, the other is about the top things to do in Launceston. Continue reading “Time Out: Tasmanian travel writing”
