Whale Watch at Cape Solander
If you’re after an iconic Shire experience this June, whale watching should be on your radar. You can jump on a whale-watching cruise for a closer look or head out to Cape Solander, one of Sydney’s top spots to see these majestic creatures as they head south on their migration to Antarctica. It takes a bit of patience, but catching a breach or fin slap is always worth it. June is prime time for spotting whales close to the coast, making it a relaxed, family-friendly outing — so pack a picnic and make a day of it.
Reset and Recharge At Engadine’s New Aura Recovery Studio
If you haven’t checked out Aura Recovery Studio yet, this is your sign. They’re officially open in Engadine, and it’s shaping up to be next-level. The studio is all about science-backed recovery experiences in a calm, elevated space. Think communal contrast therapy, traditional sauna and cold plunge, red light therapy, and more — all designed to help you recover, recharge, and feel your best. If you’re looking to level up your wellness routine, swing by, explore the space, and experience the benefits for yourself.
One Pop-Up, Three Different Ways To Dine

Check Out This Chic New Italian Spot Just Over The Bridge

Recently opening its doors within The Brighton Hotel Sydney, Benetti’s instantly caught our eye with its chic Tuscan-inspired fit-out.
