Australia is known for it's unique and diverse architecture with a wealth of luxury homes that exudes lifestyle. From chic beach-side bungalows, to canal-front retreats, to alpine hideaways and extravagant inner-city sanctuaries, Australia truly has it all.

Aboriginal Australians are believed to have first arrived on the Australian mainland by boat from the Indonesian archipelago between 40,000 - 60,000 years ago and established one of the longest surviving artistic, musical and spiritual traditions known to Earth.

The Australian world of food and wine offers more freedom and diversity than perhaps that of any other nation on the planet.

Australians have grown up with a broad influence from Indigenous, European and Asian cultures so it is unsurprising that there is less of a national cuisine and a rather borrowing and contemporary interpretation of cuisine from around the world.

There's an inherent free-spirited attitude in the kitchens and cellars of Australia that drives adventure, refinement and discovery when food and wine get together.
