Mandy Nolan’s Soapbox: Shopping Centres Scare Me

I feel trapped. There isn’t a single time I attend where I don’t check my proximity to the exits, or imagine what I’d do if there was a fire, or worse, a shooter. The sense of being enclosed is unnatural, I can’t tell what time of day it is, I lose my sense of direction. It’s designed to be disorienting. It feels otherworldly. And never in a good way. They are designed to make you stay longer. They are by design, disorienting.

Escape for breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks this summer to Elements of Byron resort. With free parking and plenty of space for informal meetings and celebrations, there is good reason to mosey down Bayshore Drive and see what the fuss is all about.

Sometimes it’s nice not to have to make decisions and the new Hinterland Menu at Graze Restaurant & Lounge, priced at $80 per person, allows guests to sit back, soak up the elements and take a creative culinary journey. ‘This is the menu we go to town with’, says Chef Sam Garde. ‘It’s ever-changing based on what’s freshest and what excites our team of chefs on the day’.

And for those seeking a more traditional festive season feast, for the month of December the special Christmas Menu includes Herbed slow cooked breast and chestnut stuffed leg of turkey with crispy parma ham, shaved brussel sprouts and cranberry madeira jus and Christmas pudding with nutmeg brandy custard.

It is possible to dine indoors, poolside on the terrace or book the Private Dining Room for sixteen. Enclosed by a hand crafted six metre wall of timber and glass detailed in Australian hardwood, the room is home to Mullumbimby artist Noel Hart’s four layered oil paint, pigment and charcoal paintings on jute which honour the four ecologies across the Elements of Byron site.

Fire Pit Fridays have been popular since their July launch thanks to locals as well as resort guests. From 5:00pm – 7:00pm the oyster shucking station serves $1 oysters and there are complimentary nibbles from the chefs at Graze.

You can challenge the bartenders to create your concoction of choice using Drift Bar’s impressive range of spirits including Tasmanian vodka and gin from Margaret River, Yarra Valley and of course the sensational local Ink Gin from Tumbulgum.

Welcoming locals seven days for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks.
