I found Canberra’s best museum secrets with Cultural Attractions of Australia

Aug 9, 2024 | couriermail.com.au | Danielle Norton

Standing before the pool of reflection, holding an elaborate wreath of native Australian flowers, I glance sideways. The elderly woman next to me has tears welling in her eyes and the moment I see them, my lip wobbles, my eyelids burn and my ducts begin to leak. I try to imagine who she is honouring here today. A parent? A grandparent? A sibling? A child? I’m surprised. I didn’t expect to feel this emotional. My connection to fallen soldiers is so far removed as to be irrelevant.

I went into The Sanctuary at Hepburn Spa & Bathhouse, it changed everything

Jul 5, 2024 | escape.com.au | Danielle Norton

"Listen to the stream,” says my therapist as she places a wheat mask over my eyes. Beyond the ambient music tinkling through the speakers I hear the stream trickling outside the open window. I inhale and consciously relax my muscles, one limb at a time, until my body feels lighter. On the other side of the room, I hear my mum sigh happily. We are at the Hepburn Spa & Bathhouse for a weekend stay in a Wellness Villa. The first part of the experience is a treatment at the day spa.
Qantas code you don’t want to see on your boarding pass

Apr 16, 2024 | escape.com.au | Danielle Norton

Back in the days when everyone had personal interactions with their travel agents, this was something that they would check for you. If you were a nervous flyer, or claustrophobic, they knew it. If part of your journey was on a small plane, you’d be warned to bring your valium. But now that a lot of us are booking our domestic and international flights ourselves, there are some code checking tricks we need to know. A few weeks ago I unexpectedly flew on a tiny QantasLink Dash-8.

Apr 7, 2024 | ntnews.com.au | Danielle Norton

So what happens? Do airlines have to look after you when flights are cancelled or delayed? Last week, on a trip home from Seattle to Melbourne, my plane had an engine fault that had us changing planes and delayed for hours. I missed my connection in San Francisco, along with dozens of other travellers. What could have been a super-stressful experience was skilfully managed.
