Close to home
Border closures forced us to look inwards in 2020, driving a boom for regional and domestic tour operators. This year will see Australians continue to stay close to home, as we explore the rich and varied offerings of our own backyard, from humid tropics and rich red deserts to horizon-spanning beaches and humming cities. Cruise the rugged coastline of Tasmania; bask in the glory of Uluru; swim with great whites in Port Lincoln; or perhaps snap a selfie with a quokka on Rottnest Island (pictured). Across the Tasman, our equally spectacular neighbour, Aotearoa New Zealand, also offers plenty to impress. From the South Island’s luxury lodges, vineyards and ski slopes to the sailing paradise of the Bay of Islands and beyond.
COLOUR YOUR WORLD
Big, bold and bright are the style cues for 2021. From fashion to homewares, it’s all about head-turning colours and large-scale prints. Take inspiration from the luscious brilliance of summer fruit and adorn your alfresco dining table with berry-hued linen and vivid tableware (La DoubleJ soup and dinner plates, $551 for eight, Farfetch, pictured). Revamp your living space with a statement sofa or quirky glass vessels filled with vibrant flowers. Be inspired by contemporary art and design from around the world at NGV Triennial, which features such works as the attention-grabbing mastery of artist Refik Anadol.
