Our foodie weekend in April 2021
Tino & Rosa will be here
TIno Carnevale - Gardening Australia's favourite presenter coming here
Born and bred in Tasmania, Tino's lifelong interest in plants and gardening stems from growing up on his family's small farm in Southern Tasmania, helping to tend its vineyard, olive grove and extensive vegetable garden.
As well as being a presenter on ABC Television’s Gardening Australia for a decade, Tino writes a weekly column for the Tasmanian newspaper The Mercury and also many articles for the Gardening Australia Magazine.
He has worked at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens and still films there regularly.
He now also does weekly radio with ABC 936, carrying on one of the oldest gardening talkback shows in the world after the retirement of Peter Cundall.
He is active in community programs and events and gives regular talks to gardening groups at conferences and festivals around Australia.
Although he has working experience in commercial agriculture, especially cherry orchard management and small scale farming he is probably happiest in his own garden, propagating and planting, grafting and digging.

Rosa April 10 & 11 2021 Rosa cooking in Goyder
Rosa Matto - Everyone loves Rosa
I like to describe myself as a teacher first, chef second. My career as cookery teacher, caterer and writer spans three long, eventful decades. One day, I will write a tell all memoir! I will name names. My great love is to invite people to my rather chaotic kitchen table and plie them with simple food, litres of wine and regale them with tales – some true, some ‘embellished.’ But now, I’ve reached the point in my life when my family and friends have heard my stories, jokes and travel tips so many times that their eyes glaze over as soon as I open my mouth. My other obsession is to travel with groups of like minded people, so my stories and recipes originate from many destinations, from home and abroad.
