“A large Yorkshireman, who was tasting at the sa

“A large Yorkshireman, who was tasting at the same time, appeared to be having an out-of-body experience but he nicely summed up what we were feeling about this mouth-filling wine: ‘Proper champion’,” writes wine columnist RICHARD CALVER.

The word that I would use to describe Paranormal, a lively hybrid bottle-shop-bar and eatery in Campbell, is sprauncy, meaning smart or showy in appearance.

That’s not just the architecture but the placement opposite an urban park that adds light and colour to the view. There’s substance not just show to this place, too, with great knowledgeable service and good bar snacks, the lamb sausage with peach ketchup a standout.

In the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, Eurydice is

In the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, Eurydice is stung by a serpent and dies. Orpheus follows her into Hades, then promises to lead her back but not look at her. He fails. She dies all over again.

Normally, since Eurydice is dead from the outset, Orpheus has the lion’s share of the story, even more so since he is famed as the world’s greatest musician.

It’s a narrative that’s continued to tease the imagination of creative artists all over the world.

In Opera Queensland/Circa’s production of Gluck’s Orpheus and Eurydice, for instance, Orpheus is seen in an insane asylum grappling with the loss of his beloved, but in American playwright Sarah Ruhl’s play Eurydice, now staged by Amy Kowalczuk at The Mill Theatre, the ancient myth is shown from the female perspective.

Evie Hudson is a woman with amnesia, who forgets the last 13 years. Piecing her life back together, she navigates the harsh realities of coercive control.

Evie is the leading character in local author @emmagreyauthor's second novel Pictures of You.

Her debut book, The Last Love Note, sold more than 100,000 books worldwide within a few months of being published last year.

“I think that using amnesia really helped [show the effects of coercive control] because she had that sense of being completely lost in her own life,” Emma says of her new work of fiction.
