Powering a movement: Damon Gameau on creating a positive, climate-conscious future

It’s early morning in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, Australia. A peaceful silence blankets the coastal town of Byron Bay, interrupted only by the sound of waves crashing on the beach and the occasional magpie warbling in the breeze. As the sun starts to peek through the tall swathes of lush, green rainforest, the town begins to rise. Though for Damon Gameau, his day has already begun. Soaking up first light at his home amongst the trees and ferns, his morning ritual – a cup of tea on the back deck – is a constant reminder of what he fights so passionately to protect, and where his mission to inspire a positive, sustainable future begins each day.

Luxurious leisure: how Polestar and Bailie Lodges are reinventing the Aussie road trip

Picture this: You’re road-tripping around Australia in a Polestar. You might be cruising along sun-drenched coastal drives, with the windows down, salt spray in the air, and a playlist that’s perfectly curated. Or perhaps you’re winding your way through the lush rainforests, gliding through hills and valleys, and taking in the unique sounds of Australia’s wildlife from your quiet Polestar ride. Maybe you’re embarking on a quick weekend getaway to wine country, eager to unwind in the hills and taste some of our finest exports. Responsibly, of course. Australia offers so much for those who travel by road. With an ever-changing landscape stretching across thousands of kilometers, there’s always something new to discover from the driver’s (or passenger’s) seat. As we transition into the electric age, driving a Polestar while staying at one of Baillie Lodges’ luxurious locations becomes just as much a part of the experience as the destination itself.
