Attention to detail
Susannah Blaxill’s drawings and paintings have won fans around the world, including British botanic art collector Shirley Sherwood. Susannah shows us her detailed works, which are as likely to star vegetables or seaweed as flowers.

Harmony in the kitchen
Berrima’s best known residents, Jimmy and Jane Barnes, talk about their new cookbook, their favourite recipes and why they love feeding a crowd.
