Eliza Campbell

Eliza Campbell

Writer and editor · Melbourne, Australia

As Concrete Playground's former Managing Editor (and former editor of Halliday Wine Companion and Time Out Melbourne), I know a thing or two about what's worth eating, drinking and doing in Australia. As a perpetually over-committed party girl who has never once missed a 6am hot pilates class, I'm hard to impress – but never snobby.

From the coldest vodka martini in town to the live music gigs you should be buying tickets to, I'm the friend whose recommendations you don't second-guess. Irreverent, dry and reliably the one in the room saying "it's PR, not ER" when everyone else is deeping it, I take the wine list (but not life) very seriously.
