In keeping with our focus to offer our clients the latest technology in clinical anti ageing procedures Milk Face Place have recently (2011) introduced Micro Hydra Brasion,a medical grade, non invasive therapy to deeply cleanse and hydrate the skin, offering visible results after just one treatment.

Our clients wanted a more natural alternative to radical surgical treatments so we introduced the latest European technology – a revolutionary photo modulation/LED light therapy treatment, exclusive to Milk.

Antonio Zeccola's involvement in film dates back to the 1960's where his first foray into the motion picture industry was (like his father's before him) a rented town hall screening films to small but enthusiastic audiences.

His obvious passion and commitment translated into success very quickly and by the mid to late 1970's Antonio operated a number of suburban cinemas including The Metropolitan in Brunswick, The Roma in Bourke Street and The Palace in Bourke Street from which the group derived its current corporate identity as Palace.

he Beatty Gallery first opened in Kings Lane Darlinghurst, Sydney in 1993

Australian Galleries was established in Melbourne by Tam and Anne Purves in June 1956. The space was originally the Purves’ pattern manufacturing business in the inner suburb of Collingwood. They supplied the all-important patterns to the local fashion industry which was centred around the warehouses in the adjoining streets.

Together their vision and driving force resulted in the development of what was then, an extraordinary idea. They started a commercial gallery to show the small group of culturally important post-war Australian artists emerging in Melbourne who at the time had nowhere to seriously show and sell their work. The first painters to exhibit at Australian Galleries included artists who went on to become some of Australia’s greatest ever, such as Arthur Boyd, Sidney Nolan, John Perceval and Albert Tucker.
