I felt humiliated but partly victorious in that I’d kept the wine aloft in my left hand,” writes wine columnist RICHARD CALVER, after surviving a fall in a Sydney wine shop.

My son and I are visiting a Sydney wine shop in Darlinghurst during the first days of 2025.

The store is close to where we are staying for a few days to see the fireworks and to go to a play at the Opera House as well as to do an urban bushwalk in Sydney Harbour National Park.

At the front of the store is a box that contains end-of-stock wines that are reduced by 15 per cent. I spot a 2018 Charles Melton Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon and I see that it is reduced to $60 and I pluck it out of the box.

Ahead of the upcoming Royal Canberra Show, new pre

Ahead of the upcoming Royal Canberra Show, new president of the Royal National Capital Agricultural Society Toni Rolls says working in agriculture has always been in her blood.

“My parents have come from an agriculture background,” she says.

“And then I married a fifth generation farmer!”

Despite being born and bred in Canberra, Toni says she fell in love instantly with agriculture and says she’s never going to leave the country lifestyle.

“It’s in my roots,” she says.

For its twin summer exhibitions, the @nationalgall

For its twin summer exhibitions, the @nationalgalleryaus has chosen to look at two female artists partly lost in the shadows of art history, reports HELEN MUSA.

The two substantial exhibitions, free to the public, have involved five years of research by curators Deborah Hart and Rebecca Edwards and are simply titled, Ethel Carrick and Anne Dangar, part of the Know My Name initiative which aims at recognising our women artists.

It’s an apt choice, for while these are separate exhibitions, the artists have much in common, notably that both became considerable figures in the French art scene and were considered radical in their own time.

This week, our gardening columnist JACKIE WARBURTO

This week, our gardening columnist JACKIE WARBURTON looks at another week in the summer garden.

A native plant that puts on a show in the summer heat is the woolly bush (Adenanthoas sericerus).

Endemic to the sandy soils of WA, but unfortunately most deaths of these plants in our region is from wet feet in clay soils in winter.

So they need drainage and a little protection from the cold winds. Nevertheless, in the right spot, they create a good screen and are terrific for a small space.
