Hot on the heels of opening Monopole in Sydney’s CBD is Brent Savage and Nick Hildebrandt’s latest gift to the city’s dining scene, Ria Pizza & Wine in Potts Point. Smart toppings – anchovies and piquillo peppers or WA octopus and ’nduja – meet crisp soudough bases. Did we mention the pizza crust dips? Go. Now.

A little-known Aussie destination, Abrolhos Islands, WA, was recently named by Skyscanner as one of the world’s best spots for an off-thegrid holiday in 2021. Surrounded by incredible coral and marine life, it’s often called the Galápagos Islands of the Indian Ocean. I’ll be putting this under-the-radar gem on my travel list.
