On Tuesday we welcomed new restaurant Midden by Mark Olive to our Western Foyers! 👏 Spearheaded by celebrated Indigenous Australian chef and Bundjalung man Mark Olive, this exciting new culinary experience heroes a seasonal, produce-focused menu of native Australian ingredients - featuring dishes like blue gum-smoked barramundi, wallaby shanks brained in bush tomato and native herb damper bread alongside whipped eucalyptus butter. 🥘 Midden will open daily for lunch and dinner, with matinee high teas served every Wednesday and on weekends. Trading hours and bookings are available now through the link in our bio. 📸 Yazzen Omar

Gurrumul, an extraordinary musician, friend, and national treasure. 👏 In our latest episode of House Vault, we look back on one of Australia's most acclaimed and beautiful voices. Erkki Veltheim from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra describes his voice as so layered that it sounds like a choir, while his collaborator and confidante, Michael Hohnen, shares insights into his genius, quick wit, and grace. We remember this exceptional musical talent and the way he captivated audiences by sharing the stories, landscapes, and traditions from his home in north east Arnhem Land. Gurrumul's performances at the Opera House will remain forever in our hearts. ✨️ #NAIDOC
