Biography
Fear is found on a creaking glacier in the Caucasus mountains and joy is encapsulated in the perfect Shanghai dumpling, believes Melbourne-based travel writer Belinda Jackson. “And while I love a $500-a-night hotel room (who doesn't?), sometimes the best stories are found in a $20 guesthouse.” With an eye always out for good markets and great street eats, she writes travel features for Sydney's Sun-Herald and Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's The Age newspapers, and podcasts at The World Awaits. She has a particular soft spot for the wilds of the Middle East, scarves and carpets. Her articles and photographs have been published in a range of consumer magazines and newspapers in Australia and abroad including Gourmet Traveller, ABC Radio, Voyeur (Virgin Australia), Paradise (Air Nuiguini), Honda magazine, marie claire (Australia) and interior design magazines Belle, Vogue Living & Entertaining and Australian Home Beautiful. Other publications include Get Lost!, Abercrombie & Kent magazine, Morning Calm (Korean Air), Finnair, OutThere (Rex Airlines), Outback magazine, Vacations & Travel, The Irish Times, The Irish Independent, Australian Doctor, Accor Traveller, Western Horseman (US), The Adelaide Advertiser and the Sunday Mail's HOME magazine.

There are no seat-back screens and the bulkhead screens are blank.

The Keith Motel, Rye, Mornington PeninsulaThe Keith is one of the many motels that line the beaches of the Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne’s favourite summer playground. Thankfully, it’s been rescued from the ignominy of decay with a recent refurbishment that catapults it back to its halcyon days as an old-school beach holiday destination.
