We’re more than halfway through the year, and can we say things are starting to look up? Meanwhile, many of us are wanting to get out and explore the island, and the good news is that there’s still enough to see and do. Here are some things you can look forward to doing in July 2021.
The Great Steak Escape
Meat lovers, here’s one more reason to eat out this week. The Great Steak Escape, which runs from now through July 25th 2021. This meat feast, organised by Meat & Livestock Australia, will deliver exquisite cuts of Australian beef to some of our favourite eating establishments in town. Go round our sunny island and visit restaurants such as Burnt Ends, Culina, Level 33, Potatohead (3 Buns), Guzman Y Gomez, and many other restaurants, to indulge in delectable beef masterpieces. This is a unique culinary experience spanning different cuisines centred by the rich flavours of healthy and farm-fresh Australian cattle.
