Known for his spontaneous, straight-from-the-heart cultural commentary Dhinawan will narrate an authentic cultural journey of food from Gamillaroi Bigambul country to Bundjalung Country.
At the Minjungbal Museum & Cultural Centre, lunch will be prepared by local Indigenous chefs Robert Philp and Mundara Baker.
