It was fantastic to be on the front cover of the The Age Weekend Lift-out! e arrived with our Director Lela McGregor at the location shoot in 40 degree heat. Whew…The photoshoot was amazing and The Age captured a great photo at the St Kilda Botanic Gardens with the magnificent backdrop of the historical palm trees. A little bit of tropical paradise in the heart of Melbourne. That’s us on the front. Stephan Lagoulis and Peronel Taylor!!!
