DISHES, DESTINATIONS & EXPERIENCES VIC The Scene Rug up and get out because while the weather might be a little frosty, the array of new events happening around the country this month are red-hot! Think cheese festivals oozing with in-cheddar-ble talent, rooftop bars transformed into winter havens, sunset markets and a new sandwich shop from culinary legend, Matt Moran. QLD 08 Lina Rooftop One of Brissie’s favourite rooftop bars is once again transforming into a winter haven, serving up cosy private igloos, flaming cocktails and fondue. Each igloo can cater for six to eight guests so take the chance to gather a few of your favourites and enjoy a private space. Rooftop bar but make it cosy! 74/80 Tribune Street, South Brisbane @lina.rooftop NGV Friday Nights: Winter Masterpieces Welcoming the winter season, NGV Friday Nights returns with a recharged and reimagined program celebrating the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition, Pharaoh. Expect the usual extended late-night access to this blockbuster exhibition, alongside a vibrant lineup of music residencies, pop-up performances, and Middle Eastern-inspired food and drink. The exhibition will take visitors on a journey through three thousand years of ancient Egyptian art and culture, featuring over 500 works including monumental sculptures, exquisite jewellery, and intricate coffins. 180 St Kilda Road, Melbourne @ngvmelbourne Tom Ross for NGV Media NSW Mould If you count cheese as a hobby, not a food group, you’ll want to pop by Australia’s premier cheese event when it touches down in Sydney between Friday 26th July and Sunday 28th July. What can you expect? Over 100 varieties of cheese of every kind, ready and waiting to be sampled in a fun festival atmosphere. There will also be plenty of cheese-adjacent producers present slinging everything you need for an at-home cheese festival of your own. Tickets are $49 per person and include all cheese tastings plus a cooler bag for any cheese purchases. Carriageworks, Sydney @mouldcheese Mould Lina Rooftop
