Nude model Dina Broadhurst drop guidance for Darling Point home from $11.5m to $8.4m
The price guidance for the Darling Point apartment of nude artist Dina Broadhurst has been dropped from $11.5m to $8.4m for its June 5 auction.
The Etham Avenue garden apartment, with water views to Double Bay, showcases the design by StudioJos.
The apartment, with 280sqm of indoor-outdoor living space, is co-owned with her ex-boyfriend, property developer Max Shepherd having cost $5.2m unrenovated in 2022.
The home was initially listed late last year, when Broadhurst shared intimate images of the blue chip abode online.
The listing was later taken down, amid suggestions Broadhurst, who has made a name for herself on social media, had had second thoughts on parting with the home and was keen to keep it.
'Grand-scale garden apartments with sweeping harbour views are a rare gem in Darling Point – and this exquisitely reimagined residence sets a new benchmark for prestige living,' the listing for the home reads.
'Occupying the entire ground floor of a boutique duplex mansion on one of the area's most exclusive tree-lined streets, this residence combines the elegance of house-like proportions with the ease of apartment living.
'Showcasing 280sqm of impeccably designed indoor-outdoor space, the home flows seamlessly to a sun-drenched garden with captivating views over Double Bay to Redleaf Pool and Seven Shillings Beach.
'Designed by renowned Studiojos, every inch of this residence speaks of refined luxury-from the soaring 3.6m ceilings and wide oak floors to the custom cabinetry and vintage Murano glass wall lights.'

The Superjesus' Sarah McLeod says music industry sexism hasn't improved in 30 years
The last thing Sarah McLeod had on her bingo card when her alt-rock band The Superjesus returned to the top 10 with their first new music in 20 years was a dance hit. The Adelaide rockers have been holding sway in the ARIA Club chart for the past three months with the Paul Mac remix of their single Something Good. The song featured on their comeback self-titled record which also debuted in the top 10 on the ARIA Australian Album chart when it was released in March. 'I used to do dance music years ago for my solo stuff and I wrote Something Good as a club track but decided to make it into a Superjesus song,' McLeod said. 'In the back of my mind we should get a remix done of it one of these days. And now we're in the clubs.' The Superjesus kick off their national tour this weekend, playing the new album in full as a greatest hits set, with only a handful of tickets remaining for most shows. McLeod said the flood of goodwill that has greeted the band's return was unexpected and a relief as the Australian music industry struggles to engage local audiences with new homegrown music. 'I kind of assume I'm screaming into the ether and I just scream louder and just try different things,' she said. 'I'm a total hustler, I even manage the band now with Ruddy (bassist Stuart Rudd) and there's no blueprint for how to do this so we're doing a lot of YouTube tutorials.' Back in the late 1990s, The Superjesus was all over the altrock airwaves, in the top 5 of the album charts and picking up ARIA awards, with songs including Gravity, Down Again and Now and Then generating millions of streams as the band reconnects with fans in the digital era. As much as streaming has dramatically changed the music landscape, McLeod said she has discovered many things remain the same and that includes discrimination and lack of opportunities for female and non-binary artists, particularly on festival line-ups. McLeod said back in the day she thought the band missed out on coveted festival slots because 'we weren't good enough.' Now as the new chair of the Australian Women in Music advocacy group, McLeod is studying statistics from across the decades which show there has been little improvement in rectifying inequality in the industry. 'Things have changed marginally but since I took on this role and I'm looking at the statistics, I see total imbalance everywhere,' she said. 'I get reports about how many women are on festivals and it's one per cent or five per cent or 10 per cent and then it's male, male, male. 'I used to think we didn't get chosen for festivals, or another female-fronted band didn't get picked, because we weren't good enough. 'But over the years I've realised that it is still very much a blokes' game, and we play it the best we can.' The Superjesus record also proved popular with fans of old school music formats and featured in the top 10 of the ARIA Vinyl Chart. But McLeod was shocked when fans started petitioning them on social media to also release in on CD. The singer loves the idea that vinyl and CD versions of records are now considered 'merchandise' souvenirs in the same way fans collect T-shirts and stickers. 'It's exciting in an industry that you work so hard to make a product and give it away for free (on streaming) that people are into vinyl and CD again,' she said. 'My mum asked me how we make money from a new record and I told her we don't, it's a marketing tool. We put out new music so that people will come to the show and if they buy a ticket to the shows, that's when we make money. But we don't make money from the actual record.'

Actor and disability advocate Chloé Hayden is learning to prioritise what matters
Unwind with… is a regular column that explores the simple ways interesting people take care of themselves through periods of change or upheaval. Actor and disability advocate Chloé Hayden lives in regional Victoria on Wadawurrung Country. The 27-year-old stars as Quinni on Heartbreak High, with the show's third and final season streaming this year. Chloé says the entertainment industry is exciting to work in, but it's "also really difficult when you're neurodivergent and rely so heavily on routine". Chloé was diagnosed as autistic in her adolescence and lives with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), endometriosis and adenomyosis. "I'm a lot better at looking after and respecting my neurodivergent brain," she says. "I don't yet have the same grace for a sick body." But she's learning to rest and make room for what she loves beyond work. When I go out to be with my horses is probably when I feel the happiest. Or, when I let myself relax. Not the pretend relaxing where I'm telling my body that we're relaxing but my brain is going over a million things that I must do or that I'm feeling ...when I'm just reading a book or playing a video game, truly being-in-the-moment relaxing. Since getting [the role of Quinni], my horses were put on the back burner. That was very scary and honestly caused a pretty big identity crisis. I'm a competitive horse rider and I can't train my horses up knowing that I might have to [be called back to work before a competition]. I just went,"well, I guess I just won't do anything with them because there's too much emotion and heartbreak if I have to [leave for work] again". I was then really confused when I was sad and anxious all the time. I sat down and I spoke to some people, and I realised that there was no reason why I couldn't have both. I just wasn't prioritising things that I needed to prioritise. I'm still trying to figure it out and learn when I need to stop. I'm also trying to learn when I need to accept help from other people. I know what does help is switching off and respecting when my body is giving me signals to stop and taking that time off to rest. Lying on the couch with my cats all over me and playing a video game and letting my husband look after me completely, giving in to going "you're not broken or wrong, you don't hold less value or worth because you're letting someone help you out". I can't cook to save myself, but my husband knows my safe [comfort] foods. My mum's dal recipe is a big safe food. If I'm having a shitty day, he usually knows before I do. He'll make sure that I'm eating and drinking throughout the day because it will get worse if I'm not looking after my physical body. I love being in the bush, I love having open fields around me, I love being away from everyone and being able to see the stars at night and being able to have all of my horses surrounding me. You couldn't convince me to ever live in the city.
