Born and bred in Brissy, Melt Festival Ambassador Courtney Act knows her stuff for the best spots in her hometown. Here’s what she said about her last visit home.

Where to stay

Where did you stay on your last visit to Brisbane and what did you like about it?

The last time I was in Brissy I stayed at the Ovolo and they did me so right. There was a drag queen essentials kit in my room complete with glue stick, Got 2 B Glued and other drag adhesives.

Where to eat

Favourite restaurant and why?

I used to love eating at Long Grain in Sydney so much and I can’t wait to eat at Short Grain. The food is sooooooo good.

Best coffee

Favourite place for coffee?

Lucky Duck in West End is so cute. I caught the City Cat over and had an iced latte before going up the road for a beer with my Dad!

What to see

What were you most excited to visit in Brisbane and why?

GOMA! The Fairy Tales exhibition earlier in the year looked super cute. I have the book from the Air exhibition on my coffee table!
