We welcomed an incredible group of guests from across music, sport and culture to celebrate 50 years of NAIDOC Week, 10 years of Bad Apples Music and the excellence of First Nations people.⁠

Thank you to everyone who joined us. ⁠

Before every service, we have dinner together as a team.⁠
⁠
Each day, one person is rostered to lead the meal. It might be a dish from their home country, something they grew up eating or a recipe that means something to them. It’s their chance to share a small part of themselves with the rest of the team.⁠
⁠
While one person leads the menu, everyone gets involved. It’s all hands on deck to cook, share and sit down together before the restaurant opens.⁠
⁠
It’s a simple ritual, but one that reminds us that great hospitality begins with looking after each other.

A winter highball of sorts. Eucalyptus tequila, sweet citrus, bitter fizz and warming ginger, served long over tall ice.⁠
⁠
Refreshing from the first sip, comforting by the last.
