Excitement for our new Melbourne adventure peaked this week when we saw the waves pumping at URBNSURF. The epic new surf park (home to our first Melbourne restaurant) saw its lagoon come to life this week, with full barrels rolling through the Wavegarden. "In the space of a few hours, thousands upon thousands of waves [...]

If you're wondering what our mate Mark LaBrooy looks like when he's in his element, it's this: barefoot on the back of a boat, in the middle of the Maldives, reeling in a jobfish. Mark travelled to the island paradise to bring a bit of The Ducks laidback flavour to the luxe W Maldives – [...]

Flying to Bali to takeover the kitchen at W Bali - Seminyak's beachside Starfish Bloo... it's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it. So, we sent chef Darren Robertson over to plate up a Ducks-style menu of locally-sourced seafood, including Pacific Coast oysters, Indonesian swordfish and lobster.
