Outback and Beyond in Australia

Join the adventure of renowned travel journalist Maria Shollenbarge as she explores the dual identities of Australia, from the lush Daintree Rainforest to Sydney’s bustling Inner West for a visit to Lucky Kwong at South Eveleigh.

Featured in the Financial Times ‘How to Spend It’ July 2022 Travel Issue, the article acknowledges how the Indigenous culture has become the focus of the nation’s conversation through ongoing acknowledgment, authentic storytelling and incredible food. 

Shollenbarge shares the story behind Kylie Kwong’s collaboration with Clarence Slockee from Jiwah in cultivating edible native ingredients at the South Eveleigh Rooftop Garden to be incorporated into Lucky Kwong’s delicious Cantonese dishes. It's our way of working as a community to share the story and culture of the First Nations peoples.
