Weekly Specials Fundraiser

Overview

This week, you can help raise some much-needed coin for victims of the Aussie bushfires, simply by grabbing a drink at the CBD's pastel-hued cocktail and rooftop bar Peaches. From January 6 to January 12, the pretty-in-pink venue will be fundraising for wildlife rescue charity Port Macquarie Koala Hospital, through sales of a limited-edition signature cocktail.

Dubbed Koala Rescue, the newly hatched drink blends Applewood limoncello, Applewood gin, grapefruit and thyme, and 100 percent of profits from each one sold this week will be heading to support the charity's work helping various wildlife affected by the recent fires.

Fancy a fundraising feed, as well? The bar's owners also run Preston venues Takeaway Pizza and Dexter, which will each be whipping up some fire relief specials of its own. Until January 12, all proceeds from Takeaway Pizza's $15 cheese pizzas will also be heading to Port Macquarie Koala Hospital, while profits from Dexter's special of steak, pickles and mash sold between January 9–12 is going to support both animals and humans via the Bushfire Disaster Appeal.
