Luxury travel specialist, Sally Scott founder of alluxia.com shares her Top 10 Travel Tips for Organising a Girls’ Getaway.

We’re regular visitors to the Hunter Valley, with just so much to love about Australia’s oldest and most historic wine region.  It’s deceiving how large the Hunter Valley is and you don’t want to waste precious wine tasting time by crisscrossing the valley so it’s best to plan ahead.

This week, we quietly celebrated three years since alluxia.com went live. We celebrated with our nearest and dearest with a glass or two of French Champagne & reflected on how quickly three years has flown by. Our goals for the year ahead include growing the alluxia collection and adding more destinations while remaining truly Australian.

I was initially nervous about the prospect of visiting Hobart in winter, with visions of icy, freezing conditions.  However, it’s for this very reason we’re decided to visit - to celebrate midwinter at one of Tasmania’s signature events, Dark Mofo.

Calling all fashionistas, there’s a stylish new hotel set to launch in Brisbane, and we have your first look of Alex Perry Hotel & Apartments.

Winter is HERE! In an ultra cool week that even brought snow to Queensland, we are in little doubt that we are in the depths of winter in Australia.

This Friday, we think the weekend drink of choice should be mulled wine - that warming drink that tastes like Christmas in a glass! If you’re a wine lover, this wintery spin of spiced mulled wine is warm, flavourful and oh so comforting.
