Bridgerton star quietly enjoys winter getaway in Australia with actor boyfriend
The Irish actress, 38, shared a carousel of photos on Instagram of her June spent down under.
'Got to take a break for the first time in what felt like a really long time and had a magic month,' wrote Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington in Netflix's period drama.
'Feeling very sad to leave but very grateful to have had such a beautiful trip.'
Coughlan went on to thank Tourism Australia for sponsoring two of her hotels, including Sequoia in Adelaide, where the star said she discovered her talent for jenga and love of outdoor jacuzzis, as well as Capella in Sydney, which she described as being 'in the middle of such a deeply cool city.'
Capping off her post with some humour, and showing off her knowledge of coveted Australian-made TV productions, Coughlan wrote, 'But most importantly I got to visit Australia's most impressive cultural monument, the MAFS Apartment Building'.
That 'monument' is more commonly known as the Skye Suites, where the Married At First Sight cast live (read: wreak havoc) for three months during filming of the Channel 9 televised experiment.
While she didn't share any photos of her younger boyfriend, Coughlan was joined by 25-year-old actor Jake Dunn, who was in Australia filming Netflix's upcoming series My Brilliant Career, based on the beloved novel by Miles Franklin.
Dunn shared his own photos of his stay in Australia two weeks ago, writing, 'My Brilliant Career coming soon to @netflix.'
After they were first spotted together in January during an outing in London, UK media reported the couple had been dating since at least August last year, when they were spotted together at a London music festival, and were believed to be set up by a mutual friend, fellow actor Louisa Harland.
Harland, 31, starred as Orla alongside Coughlan in the much-loved Irish comedy series Derry Girls, which ran for three seasons.
Dunn is best known for his role in the Disney+ series Renegade Nell, which was axed after just one season last year.
Coughlan was previously linked to her Bridgerton co-star Luke Newton, however she dismissed the speculation in an interview with Time last year.
'A lot of people really want me to marry Luke,' she admitted.
'We have this gorgeous friendship. We have such a love for one another and this experience that I'll never have with someone else again.
'Isn't it gorgeous that a man and woman can have that sort of relationship with one another?'

Iconic Mr Squiggle items on show at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra
Children's imaginations ran wild when a man from the moon with a pencil for a nose began to squiggle. Mr Squiggle lit up TV screens for 40 years — and now, decades after the kids' program last aired, the National Museum of Australia in Canberra is displaying hundreds of iconic Mr Squiggle items. The exhibit includes creator Norman Hetherington's artworks, scripts, and puppets. Hetherington operated and voiced the blue-haired, floppy, pencil-nosed puppet, with the role a perfect marriage of his skills as a cartoonist and puppeteer. Nineties kids will remember Mr Squiggle's sidekicks grumpy Blackboard, Bill Steamshovel and Gus the Snail. There was also Miss Rebecca, the daughter of Norman Hetherington and the show's last host. "The museum has done such an amazing job of collating it and restoring bits and pieces that needed a little bit of attention," Rebecca Hetherington said. Ms Hetherington says she is thrilled to see younger generations in awe of her late father's work. She recalls her early experiences with Mr Squiggle in her family home. "But, of course, along came the grandchildren and they're allowed to play with all the puppets," she added with a laugh. She says her youngest son, Tom, looks set to carry on the family's legacy as he has developed a "love of puppetry". The ABC's Mr Squiggle and Friends first aired in 1959. It was one of Australia's longest-running children's shows and prompted many children to first pick up a crayon. The show involved input from audiences, as children from around the country would send in their doodles and the host would place them on Mr Squiggle's grumpy blackboard to be transformed. The program received around 10,000 squiggles. The museum's interactive elements allow children to squiggle on screens, offering a new generation a chance to make characters out of what might first appear to be abstract markings. NMA curator Sophoe Jensen says many people are familiar with Mr Squiggle, but few would know the many other lively characters Hetherington fashioned. There are camels in hats, turtles playing ukuleles and a shrimp with a tuba. And extensive behind the scenes work took place to examine and preserve each item. Museum conservators retouched paint and sourced material where necessary, with plans in place to limit light exposure. The conservators even made hundreds of cushions to support the puppets while in storage. Ms Jensen says she hopes Hetherington's flare can inspire creativity in museum-goers. "[Visitors are] going to leave having a bit more of an understanding of the breadth of Norman Hetherington's world," Ms Jensen said. Ms Jensen notes the digital age offers children more TV programs and characters to choose from than ever before. But she says, unlike Hetherington's work, modern shows are usually two dimensional, with puppetry a rare medium. Mr Squiggle and Friends: The Creative World of Norman Hetherington is free at the National Museum of Australian, open until mid-October.

Mothers' group having a ‘fabulous time' with brilliant filly She's An Artist who returns to Flemington as Creswick Stakes favourite
She's An Artist has transformed a school mothers' social WhatsApp group chat into a resource for racing replays and insights as a cohort of largely first-time owners delight in their unbeaten filly. Sursum Corda, a 20-strong female syndicate, will be in full voice Saturday as She's An Artist returns to Flemington favourite to win the Listed AR Creswick Stakes (1200m). The flashy chestnut with striking baldy face roared to an emphatic victory at Headquarters last start. The brilliant performance followed a five-length Bendigo romp on debut. She's An Artist, trained by Ciaron Maher, has won her two starts to date by a combined 8¾ lengths and done so in electric time. Sursum Corda member Megan Burges has watched the Flemington replay 'probably 100 times'. 'We'll be there on Saturday making a lot of noise, I'd imagine, hopefully anyway,' Burges said. 'We had boys who finished school together two years ago, when we were getting towards the end of the school year we said wouldn't it be great to find a way to stay in touch. 'It was a bit of a joke at the start, I said 'why don't we buy into a racehorse' and then it got legs. 'We spoke to Louis (Le Meteyer of Astute Bloodstock) and the first horse he brought to us was She's An Artist … it's been a fabulous experience. 'The girls have gone from knowing literally nothing (about racing) to buying Best Bets and talking about sectionals and race planning, how the track is, is it going to dry out for Saturday et cetera. 'I got on a plane two weeks ago, so my phone was turned off for an hour, and when I turned it back on there was 27 unread WhatsApp messages. 'Every newsagency in the local area has now sold out of Best Bets.' Sursum Corda own a 20 per cent share in the filly. Astute Bloodstock purchased She's An Artist for $175,000 out of the 2023 Premier Yearling Sale. The Trapeze Artist filly showed early speed and promise but needed time to develop. Sydney-based managing owner Le Meteyer will be glued to a screen from Deauville, France on Saturday (AEST). 'I've actually got big FOMO (fear of missing out) not being there,' Le Meteyer said. 'I'll be watching … she's $1.60 favourite, the only thing I'm a little bit concerned with is the two week back-up, she's pulled up beautifully, worked really well. 'She's only little and the two weeks backup could be a bit testing for her, Ciaron wouldn't race her if she wasn't right and she's a filly with a lot of talent. 'The market says it's a one-horse race, I don't know about that, I've got a lot of respect for a couple of the others, but look, it's very exciting.' Le Meteyer has enjoyed great success with boutique Astute Bloodstock, Group 1 winners include Harlem and Amelia's Jewel, and loves sharing the ownership ride. 'When you see the joy a good horse can bring to people it's quite infatuating,' Le Meteyer said. 'There's probably a total of 30 owners in the horse and they're all having an amazing time. 'The banter and the chat, that's what racing is all about, the shared excitement and shared passion.'

Traditional owners reopen Gunlom Falls in Kakadu after six-year closure
One of the most picturesque waterfalls in Kakadu National Park is set to be reopened to the public today, following a six-year closure. Gunlom Falls, located about 4 hours' drive south-east of Darwin, is one of the most popular spots in the World Heritage-listed national park, famed for its panoramic views. The return of visitors marks the final chapter in a years-long dispute over the disturbance of a sacred men's site near the falls, for which Parks Australia was fined a record amount for breaching NT laws. The reopening has been hotly anticipated by tourists and comes at the peak of the territory's tourism season. A previous planned reopening in May was cancelled at the last minute after unseasonably heavy rain flooded the site. The Gunlom Falls campground and top pool will be open from 8am this morning, but the bottom pool will remain fenced off for now as rangers continue searching for a saltwater crocodile believed to be inhabiting the area — suspected to be at least 4 metres long. Traditional dances will be performed later in the morning to celebrate the reopening and a jumping castle will be set up for kids. "Come enjoy yourself, just have respect for the country itself and respect that the bottom pool is closed for safety reasons until further notice," Bernie Calma, a ranger and traditional owner of the Jawoyn people's Matjba clan, said. Rangers have carried out extensive crocodile survey work in the lead-up to the reopening and had removed one 2-metre crocodile, Ms Calma confirmed. But she said a second, bigger crocodile believed to be more than 4 metres long was still unaccounted for. Jawoyn traditional owners camped out at the site on the day before the waterfall's reopening, in a gathering Ms Calma said was "pretty overwhelming" for many who had not been on-country for some time. Gunlom Falls has been closed since 2019, when damage to a sacred site triggered a protracted legal dispute that ultimately reached the High Court. That year, Parks Australia built a walking track to help visitors reach the top pools more safely. The route went against the wishes of traditional owners and exposed a sacred men's site. Parks Australia was initially successful in arguing it was immune from the Northern Territory's sacred site laws, but the High Court later overturned that ruling, finding the agency could be held criminally liable. Parks Australia then pleaded guilty to disturbing the site and carrying out the works without an authority certificate from the NT's sacred site watchdog. At an on-country hearing last year, Judge Elizabeth Morris said the public expected "conduct of the highest order" from the federal agency and issued it with a $200,000 fine, the largest ever under the NT's sacred site laws. Ms Calma said the reopening was a moment of closure for traditional owners. "When we won the court case we all felt really good about it — we were really happy that the ancestors and our old people believed in us, [that we] would fight for country." The dispute over Gunlom occurred during a period of strain in the relationship between Indigenous custodians and park management. Ms Calma said that relationship had since been "mended really well" and was now on the right track. "We're looking forward to working with Parks Australia more on other sacred sites within the park as well," she said.
