Celebrating garlic

by Janice Sutton
25 Feb 2021

The hall is spruced and decorated, the marquee is erected and the grounds prepared for a day of celebration. The aroma of garlic-infused dishes, prepared by chefs ranging in status from A-grade international celebrity to local-grade hand-me-down knowledgeable, fills the air.

We pay our respects to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and original owners and continuing custodians of lutruwita, and acknowledge elders past and present.
