“It’s the food that makes Beltana Farm shine,” writes dining reviewer WENDY JOHNSON. “Farmhouse shared plates are the go, served alongside a carefully selected list of Australian and local wines.”

Newly opened Beltana Farm in Pialligo – set in a picturesque truffle orchard of more than 800 trees – is worth a visit just for the surroundings and to take in the rustic charm of architecture and interior design.

But it’s the food that makes Beltana Farm shine. Farmhouse shared plates are the go, served alongside a carefully selected list of Australian and local wines. 🍷

"The considerably lower per km cost of the Brisban

"The considerably lower per km cost of the Brisbane Metro compared to the Canberra Metro results from… investing not in rails but in what benefits the public, namely electric vehicles," writes BEATRICE BODART-BAILEY.

Relatively new in the city on Bunda Street, Botswa

Relatively new in the city on Bunda Street, Botswana Butchery is a steakhouse extraordinaire with an uncertain future, writes dining reviewer WENDY JOHNSON.

The Botswana Butchery went into voluntary liquidation – along with its Sydney and Melbourne locations – on March 31. But it is still trading.

Botswana Butchery sure loves its meat and game, but fish is also celebrated (prawns, scallops, lobster included). Classic, beautifully presented dishes showcase quality produce and gorgeous rich sauces. Established in NZ, the emphasis is on fun and flavour, as well as chef and culinary director Angel Fernandez’s Chilean heritage, which adds spice and intrigue.

At Botswana Butchery you can select something light and easy or go for a more fulsome three-course lunch or dinner.

“We might be old, we might be disabled, but we’re still part of the community,” says Chris Walburn, 76, in response to the YMCA’s decision to cease operations at The Y Chifley Health and Wellness Centre (The Y).

Due to paralysis on his left side, Chris needs assistance with walking and he says most gyms do not have the necessary support staff to help him get to different machines – preventing him from being able to regularly exercise.

For Albert Oberdorf, 80, The Y has played a critical role in his recovery from blood cancer and prostate cancer.

Albert says he was given two options for a rehabilitation gym, an expensive private facility or The Y Chifley Health and Wellness Centre (The Y).

“Fifteen years on, I’m still here,” says Albert.

He says The Y is “probably one of the best gyms I’ve been to in five different countries,” but on March 12, the announcement of closure was given.

“It was my 80th birthday… it wasn’t good news,” he says.

Tom, Chris, Pam and Albert all say the list of alternative gyms provided by the YMCA were inadequate for their needs, and will leave a large number of people, young and old, without an option for safe exercise.
