ezra PoundNamed after the American modernist poet and inspired by prohibition era speakeasies, Ezra Pound is a treat for those who venture into Northbridge to fi nd it. Head down Williams Lane, tucked behind hectic Williams Street, and you’ll enter an old world setting of antiques and exposed brick walls. Enjoy a range of bar snacks paired with classic cocktails like a Tom Collins or Old Fashioned, robust reds, or longnecks served in brown paper bags, in keeping with the prohibition era vibe. Whatever your poison, you’ll love the cultured ambience of Ezra.ezrapound.com.au
tHe classrooMIf you fi nd yourself north side of Perth’s CBD, a visit to The Classroom is a must. Decked out like a real classroom with bookshelves lining the walls and a hopscotch grid adorning the fl oor, the creative aesthetic is matched only by the fantastic cocktail menu. Let the mixologists prepare you a ‘history’, ‘art’ or ‘science’ cocktail, depending on whether you favour something classic, artistic or inventive. Hungry? Opt for a school dinner or study the tempting ‘canteen’ menu – think broad bean bruschetta, tiger prawn tacos and roast duck dumplings. Making learning fun.theclassroom.com.au
Pleased to Meet YouFrom the people who brought you Mexican cantina La Cholita and rock’n’roll pop up bar Joe Jnr. comes Pleased To Meet You, a sprawling Central and South American dining hall that dishes up unique yet comforting fare like Navajo fried bread, squid banh mi and coal roasted suckling pig by the plateful. PTMY pitches itself as an ‘indoor food truck’ but it’s so much more than that, with cool tunes, friendly service and great food. Pull up a chair, grab a beer and order up!pleasedtomeetyou.com.au

The food is simple yet delicious – from their famous pizzas, to hearty pastas doused in comforting ragu or chilli prawn sauce, or burgers and tasty salads – and the drinks are plentiful and affordable. Calendar highlights include live local music on Wednesdays, Thursday Night Jazz and the Sunday Mixed Bag. themoon.com.au

TOP ENDtreatsAustralia’s only tropical capital, Darwin is a
delight for the mind and the senses
Darwin is truly something else. Home to camel races, saltwater crocs, al fresco dining, dreamy sunsets and epic monsoons, this city is one of strange and beautiful contrasts. The average temperature in Darwin is 32C year round,
giving rise to a vibrant outdoor culture, from waterfront dining to exploring tropical parklands. Darwin owes its cultural and culinary infl uences as much to its Asian neighbours as to its indigenous heritage, and with Australia’s youngest population it’s also refreshingly laidback.
Darwin has two seasons. The dry season starts in April/May and runs until October/November, bringing perfect weather, clear blue skies, balmy nights and warm days. This is Darwin at its best. If you arrive in August make sure you catch the Darwin Festival, an 18-day extravaganza of music, theatre, dance and cabaret (darwinfestival.org.au). The wet season begins in October/November with steamy weather, the odd lightning spectacular and short, intense rains. The risk of fl oods and cyclones increases during the wet season, however many locals relish this season as the time when the city is most alive, with raging waterfalls, breeding wildlife and blooming wild fl owers.
Discover Darwin’s unique history, from the fi rst Aboriginal people to the 1800s gold rush and Cyclone Tracy on a two-hour walking tour (darwinwalkingtours.com). The East Point Military Museum maps out the city’s wartime history including the bombing of Darwin during World War II. Deep beneath the city you’ll fi nd the World War II oil storage tunnels, containing a photographic display of the area during the war. Or visit Lyons Cottage, which overlooks Darwin Harbour and was once the home and offi ce of the people who worked on the submarine cable that connected Australia and the UK. Today it houses an indigenous and European art collection. The Darwin
Wharf Precinct is a must-visit destination with a number of historic landmarks including the Sandfl y steam locomotive that arrived by ship in 1886.
Foodies will savour the sensory experience of Cullen Bay, where restaurants serve up fresh local highlights such as mud crab, barramundi, kangaroo, crocodile and buffalo. For a meal on the go, try the laksa at the Parap Markets (open Saturdays 8am–2pm). If you prefer to linger over just-plucked seafood, head to one of the many restaurants at Stokes Hill Wharf.
Darwin Harbour is worth a visit, with plenty of activities on offer. Join a fi shing expedition to try your hand at catching local barramundi, golden snapper and threadfi n salmon, or charter a boat or a seaplane fl ight to discover the nearby bays and mangrove forests. Make sure you stay for sunset – the fi ery tropical sun puts on a dramatic fi nale each evening over the harbour. Savour the sights from any of the seaside clubs in Fannie Bay, as well as the coastal reserves at East Point, Nightcliff and Casuarina. Or book a sunset cruise on a pearl lugger, catamaran or seacat. Prices often include champagne, canapés and occasionally a full dinner.
For more magical sunsets, as well as colourful arts and crafts, jewellery and fashion, and tempting offerings from Darwin’s culinary rainbow – including Thai, Sri Lankan, Indian, Chinese, Malaysian, Brazilian, Greek and Portugese – don’t miss Mindil Beach Sunset Markets (mindil.com.au). Shop and eat to your heart’s content, then treat yourself to a massage or kick back with a coconut water and watch the fi re twirlers.
After dark, have a fl utter at Sky City Casino (if you are still hungry, the seafood buffet at Sky City’s Sunset Restaurant is excellent value), or head to Darwin’s main nightlife precinct in Mitchell Street for a bevy of bars and beer gardens. Da T

ARGYLE PINK ‘TENDER’ DIAMONDSA variety of diamonds, ranging in colour from pale rose to striking reds, have been sold at the annual Argyle Pink Diamond Tender since 1984 – they are the pinnacle of creations by Mother Nature. However with less than six years of production remaining in the Argyle Diamond Mine, there are only 500 Tender Diamonds said to remain – Argyle Pink Tender Diamonds are literally one in a million! Only select Ateliers are provided with the Offi cial Argyle Tender Book, issued before each tender. Calleija invites Destinations Australia readers to view the prestigious Argyle Tender Books at all boutiques, and see their rare Argyle Pink Diamonds up close.
BESPOKE DESIGNCalleija creates bespoke designs from start to fi nish. Concepts are hand-drawn and designs are handcrafted. It is a personal journey from creation to completion with immense expertise and intense passion for precision and excellence. John Calleija shares this passion through all his designs and invites Destinations Australia readers to view a stunning collection of unique designs. All Destinations Australia readers receive a complimentary quote for the creation of something new, or to refurbish an existing jewellery piece.
GLACIER DIAMONDSCalleija designs are synonymous with innovative style and breathtaking beauty, hallmarks of John Calleija’s dedication to creating supreme masterpieces. It was this drive that led Calleija to develop his own diamond cut, The Glacier®. With the expert guidance of a virtuoso diamond cutter, The Glacier® Cut took Calleija two years to perfect. John Calleija took the most beautiful aspects of all traditional cushion cuts and combined them into one amazing jewel. The result is exceptional – an elegant, feminine softness to the traditionally square angular cushion cut diamond, but still with a brightness and intensity that exudes fl awless elegance.
Handcrafted and perfectly shaped, Glacier® Cut Diamonds are facetted
one by one in limited numbers, focussing on the gemstone’s maximum brilliance.
Individually laser inscribed and registered, you may also wish to have a customised message of love delicately engraved on the edge of the diamond, adding further to the bespoke qualities of this captivating treasure. One of the world’s most beautiful diamonds, the Glacier® is the perfect cushion cut displaying incredible brightness and beauty that you simply have to see to appreciate. Destinations Australia readers are invited to receive a complimentary quote for the creation of a bespoke Glacier design.
ASTON MARTIN COLLECTION BY CALLEIJAAs the Offi cial Jeweller to Aston Martin, and inspired by the One-77 Supercar, Calleija has designed a limited edition jewellery collection, working closely with Aston Martin Design Director, Marek Reichman. The collection refl ects John Calleija’s passion for precision, showcasing a new cut of gemstone titled ASTAR. This exceptional cut created by John has proven an innovation in the jewellery industry. Calleija invite all Destinations Australia readers to view the Aston Martin Collection Cuffl inks, Tiepins, Rings, Pendants, Earrings and Bracelets, and experience the difference of this iconic brand. With only 77 pieces of each to ever be made, this is your opportunity to own a unique piece of Aston Martin history.
COMPLIMENTARY CLEAN AND CHECKDestinations Australia readers are invited to experience a complimentary clean and check of their precious jewellery by our experienced and professional Calleija team. This service is recommended to ensure the longevity and quality of one’s jewellery is maintained, paying particular attention to the setting and safety of all diamonds and gemstones within, especially while travelling.

Jaeger- LeCoultre
The expertise and virtuosity of the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre are revealed through each
of its timepieces. Watchmakers, artisans, engineers and technicians, united in the same location at the heart of the Vallée de Joux, share the same vision of excellence and work together to give birth to unique horological creations.
Together, the 1,300 individuals exercising their talents within the Manufacture push existing boundaries to offer Fine Watchmaking enthusiasts a wealth of new surprises each year.
Artists believe actions speak louder than words, especially when it comes to revealing the face of a

watch destined to become part of a legend. Imbued with the history and vision of Jaeger-LeCoultre, the designer conveys his ideas through lines, anticipating what tomorrow will bring and subtly blending past, present and future.
The masterful process of movement construction involves a mechanism comprising over 100 parts. A hundred or so plans, two to fi ve years’ work: the task of the movement development engineer requires comprehensive knowledge of horological principles.
The fi rst phase of manufacturing watch parts is all about matter. The metal is profi le-turned, tapped and drilled under the artisan’s attentive gaze. Component production is the
kingdom of precision in which some parts are so small that a week’s production can be held in a thimble.
Fifty parts compose the case of the famous Reverso. Eight successive skills contribute to transforming the block of raw metal into the completed case. Within the production, trimming and polishing workshops, every effort is made to detect imperfections invisible to the naked eye in order to endow the cases with the perfection they deserve.
The completion of a work is conveyed through its smallest details. All the elements of the movement are decorated after machining. Delicately performed

processes such as bevelling, straightening and buffi ng add the perfect fi nishing touches to the most complex mechanisms. Decoration is a precious skill of which the most gifted exponents take their place in the historical lineage of enduring Haute Horlogerie’ traditions.
Silence is golden in the workshop of the enamellists. In their masterful exercise of age-old techniques, they are dedicated to perpetuating this exclusive skill that continues to delight devotees of Fine Watchmaking. Matching the horological creativity of their counterparts, the jewellery artisans of the Manufacture display a wealth of imagination in creating the most beautiful precious timepieces.
Mastery, expertise and imagination guide the engraver’s every action, accurate to the nearest hundredth of a millimetre. Held in place on a wooden base, the movement is entirely exposed to the tool – a tiny hacksaw – and to the expert eye of the artist, which jointly transform into an exquisite lacework metal embroidery.
In the realm of the infi nitely small, 22 different operations involve skills exercised with extreme accuracy. Jaeger-LeCoultre remains one of the rare Manufactures to make and assemble its own levers.
With ineffable grace, the balance-spring executes its concentric

developments as naturally as gentle, regular breathing. It joins the balance-wheel in forming the beating heart of the movement. Assembling, poising, pinning up to the stud: this is the stage when the movement will literally come to life.
Assembling Grand Complications is the dream of any watchmaker. Taking part in the birth of a masterpiece in the vanguard of innovation is a role worthy of the greatest artists.
Reliability and precision: at Jaeger-LeCoultre, the entire cased-up watch is subjected to a battery of stringent tests lasting 1000 hours.
For more than 180 years, the spirit of Antoine LeCoultre, who in 1844 invented the millionometer to measure thousandths of a millimetre, continues to reign supreme within the walls of the Manufacture.

worldwide collaboration with Ferrari.

A Block Arcade Promotion
Step back in time as you stroll through Melbourne’s iconic Block Arcade. Soak up the ambience of this European-inspired shopping precinct, browse myriad delights and when your legs grow weary, stop for a cup of the city’s world famous coffee
Steeped in history, Melbourne’s iconic Block Arcade is regarded as the fi nest example of a 19th century shopping complex in
the country. Classifi ed by the National Trust and listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, the stunningly preserved arcade offers a premium shopping experience.
Modelled on the arcades of Milan, Paris and London, The Block Arcade features vaulted ceilings adorned with wrought iron, stained glass and intricate plaster ornaments. Marvel at the lavish interior aesthetics as you stroll past luxury jewellery stores, high-end fashion, quaint gift shops and quality menswear.
Stop and watch the master tailor Adriano Carbone at work in the window of Shop 14 as he wields his giant scissors cutting out another suit and listen for the melodies drifting from Melbourne Basement Discs at 24 Block Place, which often features intimate live performances.
If you can tear your eyes away from the perfectly presented shop displays and charismatic shop owners, scan the arcade’s marvellous mosaic fl oor – a classic Victorian design made from tiles manufactured in Italy and a key component of the Block Arcade’s National Trust classifi cation.
Look for the resident German-made heritage-classifi ed little ‘tapping man’ located under the spectacular dome. He has been tapping the glass in Melbourne for over 50 years.
But the history of the arcade delves deeper than aesthetic beginnings. The site on which the arcade stands was sold by auction (one of the fi rst to be held in the city of Melbourne) in 1837. It was purchased for £18 by Henry

Batman, brother of John Batman, the founder of Melbourne. Some 50 years later, the site was ravaged by a fi re – reportedly the most spectacular ever seen in the city – causing an estimated 200,000 pounds damage to ‘Georges’, the store present there at the time. Three fi remen lost their lives in the blaze and, according to local legend, the ghosts of these men haunt the site to this day. It was as a result of this fi re that Melbourne’s Metropolitan Fire Brigade was established.
With entrances on Collins Street, Elizabeth Street and Little Collins Street, The Block Arcade is easily accessible, whichever part of the city you happen to be coming from.
Before you leave for the day, be sure to pop into the historic Hopetoun Tea Rooms, established 1893 and named after Lady Hopetoun, wife of Lord Hopetoun, Governor of Victoria at the time the arcade was opened. Something of a Melbourne institution, the Tea Rooms continue the proud tradition of quality, combining old world charm with the heritage of fi ne food amidst the tranquil beauty of the fully restored Block Arcade.
