The coast's newest whisky bar The Scottish Prince sets sail in Palm Beach

The coast’s newest whisky bar The Scottish Prince sets sail in Palm Beach

By Janna Hrastovec 21 Sep 2017

About 800 metres off the Southport Spit lies the shipwreck of The Scottish Prince. In 1887 it ran aground (and some poor captain probably lost his job) carrying whisky, ales and Singer sewing machines. Fast forward about 130 years, and this infamous vessel, which remains in place as a popular dive site, has steered its way back to life in the form of the coast's newest whisky bar and eatery – The Scottish Prince. It's the latest venture by the fellas from The Cambus Wallace, and it's safe to say this is one whisky-fuelled hangout that you'll definitely want to explore. more

21 Sep 2017

If you’re partaking in Sober October, volunteering to be the designated driver, are expecting a child, or you simply aren’t a drinker, there are plenty of reasons to not indulge on a night out. Short of a mocktail or soft drink, there’s not a whole lot on offer for non-drinkers these days, but one enterprising entrepreneur is looking to change the way we drink. Seedlip is a distilled non-alcoholic spirit that is earning popularity all over the globe as a sophisticated alternative to the sugary and sweet options available at most bars. more

The Weekend Series: Bitcoin, blockchain and bamboozlement – making sense of cryptocurrency

21 Sep 2017

You’ve heard the buzz, read about it online and seen its logos pop up at shops and eateries, but what do you really know about Bitcoin? If you are like us, you are as clueless as a camel at the North Pole. Cryptocurrency has been increasing in prominence since being invented in 2009, but to us laypeople it hasn’t exactly become easier to understand. That being said, quite a few people are making a big deal out of this new technology, so we decided it would be a good idea to figure out what the heck it’s all about and see if we can break it down in a handy, easy-to-digest format. more

Kinfolk & Co. reignites the art of food with handcrafted kitchen and tablewares

21 Sep 2017

Somewhere along the way in the busy lives we all live, the connection was lost between people, their food and how they ate it. In a world where mass production rules the roost, it's easy to look for convenience over quality in so many ways. Here at The Weekend Edition, we're all for slowing down and enjoying the magic around us. So, when we came across handmade tableware maker Kinfolk & Co., we knew the company's ethos of slow design, mindful purchasing and less consumption was something we just had to harp on about. more

Tackle the ocean with femininity and style in surfsuits from Lore of the Sea

21 Sep 2017

Let's face it – femininity and functionality can be hard to nail when it comes to female surfwear. Actually, that pretty much applies to all female fashion. Like, sure we all want to look fabulous when we're out there in the middle of all the action, but at some point the need for functionality and practicality will inevitably surface. If you're surfer or an active ocean woman, then let us introduce you to women's surfwear brand Lore of the Sea. more
