Monique Ceccato Writes I'm a freelance writer, content creator, and photographer, born and bred in Western Australia. These days, I spend my time split between Perth, WA and Norway.

www.moniquececcato.com When I'm not in front of the computer or busy dreaming up my next adventure, you can find me curled up with an arrow word magazine or true crime read, talking to the bartenders about all things booze, or recharging by the ocean. For the past 10 years, I've immersed myself in the world of online content creation, producing both written and photographic work for an extensive l

ist of clientele. I've had work published on and in: 9Travel, Australian Hotelier, AWOL, Broadsheet, Delicious, Escape, FOUND, Get Lost, Hospitality, Junkee, Karryon, NZ Herald, SBS Food, So Perth, So Where Next, and The Upsider.

Most people don't realise that late September – around the Autumn solstice – is the best time to catch the aurora in northern Norway. To be honest, I wasn't aware either, not until I was on assignment in Kirkenes at that very time...

Consider yourself a regular David Attenborough? Perhaps you just really, really love the thrill of meeting weird, wonderful, and downright cute animals?

In my latest piece for The South West Edge, I explore all the best animal encounters you can have in the region, from swimming with dolphins to meeting Rottnest Island's most famous residents.

The South West Edge has an abundance of incredible animal encounters for all the animal lovers out there!

~ NEW WORK ~

You can take the girl out of Bunbury, but you can't take that little piece of Bunbury out of her heart.

This piece on the famed Collie Dam mural is the first in a series of blogs I'm writing for Bunbury Geographe, a job I'm ecstatic to have taken on. I've always loved writing about my home town (well, city) and its surrounds, and this just takes it to another level.

Collie’s Wellington Dam mural is making waves worldwide, but it’s just one of many incredible public works to discover in the region.

It's been a bit quiet over here. That silence is for good reason though!

Not only am I settling in to a new life over in Norway, but I've been busy networking, pitching, and working away on some branded content like this for the likes of Advance Pet Care.

There's never a dull day in the office...

With average temperatures often exceeding 35 degrees, Australian summers are no joke. The heat can be challenging for people, but spare a thought for dogs ...

I grew up in the South West, moved back to the South West for 4-5 months at the age of 30, and still belong to the South West no matter where I happen to find myself in the world. It will always be home for me.

Needless to say, I'm overjoyed to be putting finger to keyboard for Australia's South West, contributing to their blog monthly. The first Bunbury Taxi off the Symmons St rank? A guide to the South West beaches according to your favourite beachside activity.

What's your favourite kitchen item? Do you swear by your Thermomix like Blaikie, or are you more of a humble 'bean slicer' fan like Amy Hamilton?

This was a fun piece to put together for Magazine , taking a look at the utensils and appliances some of WA's finest chefs can't live without.

"Whether you call it it a set menu or a fixed menu β€” the concept is the same; and it certainly isn’t a new one."

Some of my favourite chefs and restaurants work on a set menu only basis, carefully crafting the culinary journey that they want their guests to take. Some may prefer the choice an a la carte menu affords them, but I love being challenged, excited, and surprised by the creativity on display when chefs are given a set menu as their platform.

Recently, I took a deeper dive into the concept of set menus for Hospitality Magazine, interviewing three incredible WA chefs (thanks for the assistance Karen Hickling and Dianne Bortoletto!) to get their perspective on the fixed style of dining.

Enjoy!

This is a friendly reminder to stop and for yourself ❀️

I've had a huge few weeks and it's the little moments - be they going for a 15-minute run, standing in a hot shower in the middle of the day, or cracking and sipping on a cracking bottle of wine - are what have kept me sane. NEVER underestimate the power of a few minutes to yourself to just stop and breathe (or, in the case of going for a run, not stopping and struggling to breathe πŸ˜‚πŸ˜œ)

🍷🍷This past week, I've been sitting down to a glass or two of 's at the end of a long day. It's not often I get to drink Victorian wines but, when I do, I drink the best 😜

I'm partial to lashings of pink, especially when there's bubbly involvedπŸ’—πŸ’“πŸ’žπŸ’•

These photos may have been taken months ago, but the memories of this exquisite high tea at are still as fresh as ever. Nowhere in Perth does a gluten free high tea quite like The Westin!! Unlike other establishments, there's no lumping all dietaries together or stale gluten free bread. Its a high tea miracle!!
