I have personally been on many Straight To The Source industry trips across Australia from truffle hunts, wild game to remote Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. The attention to detail and ability to consistently deliver a well thought out experience that I get inspiration from is amazing. I've been around and can be quite difficult to please.

Tawnya and Lucy are experienced professionals that think outside the box to create each tour from the hospitality point of view to ensure we as busy chefs with limited resource aren't wasting our time
