The crowd at the inaugural Ja Nghari Boomerang fundraising dinner at Coorabell Hall on Friday were treated to an excellent feast courtesy of Harvest Café and Three Blue Ducks, as well as interesting discussion on native foods and culture. Expect this dinner to become a great annual event. Foraging for bush foods prior to the event chefs Bret Cameron and Darren Robertson (pictured) found some delicious surprises, and with an increasing demand for local, sustainable produce, you can expect to see even more native foods on the menu at their restaurants.

A terrific performance by East Journey was an unexpected bonus; check them out at Boomerang Festival at Bluesfest.
