"Robertson now has an amazing cheese and wine shop called Pecora. The owners have a sheep farm, so everything's biodynamic — not just organic. They make all their own cheeses from their sheep. And it's a wine bar. It's a great little place to go."

"Ben Quilty has been hugely inspiring behind Ngununggula Gallery and has done a lot of work. John Olsen, Louise Olsen and John Alexander were also involved — there are a lot of people that support it. It feels world-class and international, yet it's very community-driven, which I love. I think you couldn't get a better mix."

"Red Cow Farm doesn't get a lot of attention; it's kind of under the radar. It's incredibly beautiful. It's joyful. They have the most incredible five-acre English garden. When in season it's spectacular, with all the rhododendrons and azaleas and tulips."

"Harry's is one of those places in the Southern Highlands that I tell everybody to go to, especially in winter. It's really just the coziness of the restaurant that I love, and the hospitality. It's a place of beauty — it's enchanting and beautiful."

"The Centennial Vineyards are really well set up, and there are a lot of events there. Some of the wines are good. It's very good for wines that like the cooler climate."
