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.

Driven by performance: how the rise of women’s sport is reshaping the mainstream

Professional sport is undergoing a revolution. Women have often been excluded from participating in sports dominated by their male counterparts. But across stadiums and on our screens, we’re witnessing a real-time shift. One where pioneers are forging their own path, diversity is championed, and performance isn’t bound by gender. Both Polestar and the Melbourne Football Club believe progress comes when you challenge boundaries and act with purpose. It was these shared values that led Polestar to join the Demons as a Major Partner ahead of the 2025 AFLW season.
