08/02/2012 by Rahima Saikal
Canberra born and bred DJ Rush is one of Australia’s most well-known DJs and is fast climbing the ranks of success. He even reveals a secret project he is working on. 28 year old Rush started DJing when he was 18 at parties, private functions and he was a huge fan of making mixed cassette tapes for his mates. “I loved music. I was always up to date with all the music and people would come up to me for new music”. The next step was to save up and buy his own turn tables. He did just that and realised that this was something he could turn into a career.

If only I didn’t have to go back to work I could have spent all afternoon sitting in the open and airy Glass House Café. As we entered for lunch, smiles were thrown our way by several waiters on their way past with plates of food and we were greeted like long lost friends by the maître'd. Immediately shown our table, we were greeted by enthusiastic waiters, with plates of food in hand, he introduced himself and told us about the menu. Three dishes were presented to us, one after the other, each dish chosen to complement the weather and time of day.

Comfort Food @ The George Harcourt Inn
20/01/2012 by Rahima Saikal
Seafood Thursdays at the George Harcourt Inn are definitely one of Canberra’s best-kept secrets. The seafood is advertised as fresh, and that is exactly what you get! The call to the Sydney fish market is made every Thursday morning and the produce is served up that night. Stepping into the George Harcourt Inn is like stepping into a traditional English pub. The interior is quaint, as is the beer garden but the real beauty of the place is aptly described by owner Gill; “we are a pub and we don’t pretend to be anything else”.
