Australia Day - Cronulla - 26th January, 2019.
HUUUGE Day!!!
Mixing in the right company with the current Prime Minister of Australia, my friend, Scott Morrison.
I'm certain he did not realise that he was sharing the BBQ plate with the Australian Open BBQ Champion held at ‘Swallow Rock’ Greys Point in 1972.

I showed the head of our nation a few tricks about cooking a minute steak, he took my advice & scoffed into a beautifully cooked minute steak with the onions (under the meat) of course.
Cronulla Rotary members really appreciated the PM dropping by our set up to say a BIG HELLO!!! & to personally thank us all for our efforts to raise money for our farmers that are doing it real tough right now.

The PM Scott Morrison would have spent 10-minutes talking to every one that was there working away either cooking on the BBQ serving the customers, collecting money, or what ever their tasks were, he even grabbed a long pair tongs & actually helped cook the sausages & minute steaks.
All proceeds raised go to a great cause, Rural Aid.

Today was one hell of an effort from everyone involved, by the time we finished around 8.30-9.00pm this evening we had cooked 500 minute steaks, almost 3,000 gluten free sausages, plus kilos of onions.

I would like to personally thank one of our quiet achievers Mark Ellis. Mark has worked his BUTT off over the past couple of months organising today’s events & guess what, every thing went off to plan, (no hiccups at all). Congratulations & well done mate. You are a CHAMPION.
I must admit the Cronulla Rotary set up for today’s events was very impressive as you can see in the photos showing the punters lining up for their Steak Sanga, or Sausage & onion on a roll cooked by a former Australian BBQ Champion. How good is that?
Great day had by all involved, it will be interesting to see how much today’s event raised for Rural Aid, I will let you know as soon as I know the figures on my Blog.
That is just about it for this bout, stay safe.
Warbo.
