The All Aussie Arvo Banquet and Bush Olympics
From crocodile and finger limes to AC/DC and Johnny Farnham, Freda's is celebrating all manner of Australiana with their mates.
Overview
'Straya. The only thing we love more than a good beer is a good barbie (obviously featuring a good beer). And on August 23 Freda's in Chippendale has joined forces with Many Hands Events to bring us The All Aussie Arvo Banquet, with a side of Aussie tunes. Yep, it’s a celebration of all things Aussie: the golden tunes, the warm climate and the unique wildlife, which may or may not be trying to kill you (platypus, we're looking at you).
The banquet will kick off at 12.30pm on Saturday, August 23 and will set you back $80 (drinks included). Then brace yourself for three courses of the most Australianness you can handle. There's an entree of Chinese-inspired eggplant stuffed with crocodile meat and served with puffed rice and pickled cucumber and a main of bush tomato marinated kangaroo loin kebab on wattleseed roti with pumpkin hummus, warrigal greens pesto and davidson plums. For dessert, it's deconstructed sponge trifle with fingerlimes, lemon myrtle custard, and lime jelly.
The feast will be followed by the musical extravaganza The Bush Olympics. From 4pm Wild Sunset, Smokey La Beef and Bad Jeep DJs have prepared a whole night of the greatest pub tunes to come out of the Southern Hemisphere — we're talking John Farnham, INXS, AC/DC, Savage Garden and so, so many more of the Aussie greats. All for the low low price of free.
Knifey spooney skills at the ready. Tickets to the banquet can be purchased through Eventbrite. Seating is allocated, so organisers have advised you book in groups.
