On Western Australia’s rugged Kimberly Coast, famed for its untouched beauty where rugged red-hued ranges and dramatic sandstone escarpments seemingly spill in swirls and currents of pastel pink into the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, Broome is a sun-kissed resort town set against the 22km-long pink sands of Cable Beach. Beneath a blazing sun and always-azure sky, Broome is cosmopolitan, the mood always relaxed. The air is thick with humidity one minute, the rich perfume of tropical fruits and frangipani the next, and the breeze is soft and languorous, charged with the seductive sound o ..read more

Purple Suede is an olfactory imagination of Tasmania’s aromatic fields of sunburnt lavender, where the fragrant purple spears are crisped by the fierce heat of the midday sun and sway serenely in the late afternoon breeze, brushing as they do against the flanks of majestic thoroughbreds and the stirruped leather boots of their gentleman farmer riders.
