October 11, 2018

Congratulations to Melbourne as the top Australian city and 3rd globally in Conde Nast Traveler's best cities ranking for 2018.

The magazine's spiel on Melbourne could spur a rush to suburbs, listing Preston's Gertrude Contemporary Gallery and Bulleen's Heide Museum of Modern Art as key attractions.

The write-up raves: "at once sophisticated, stylish, and seemingly free-spirited, Melbourne has all of the traits you'd want in a friend".

It also lauds an "incredible arts scene", singling out Gertrude Contemporary "for eye-popping installations by emerging Australian artists".
