You might know Giaan Rooney as an Olympic swimmer - she won a gold medal for Australia in the 2004 Athens Olympics as part of the 4 x 100m medley relay team. And you might have seen her on TV, presenting everything from the weather to Postcards. But did you know this one time athlete is now also a macadamia farmer? Along with her fifth-generation farmer husband Sam and their kids, Giaan now lives on a farm in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales.

Robert Jones was born on Stoney Rises, the third generation on his family’s sheep farm in central Victoria. In 1985, he saw the need for diversification in a traditional livestock enterprise so he launched Tuki, a trout fishing venue where visitors could come to catch a fish and - if they wanted - have it cooked for them on the property. Nearly 40 years later, Tuki is a restaurant, farm and accommodation destination, with an exciting new dining chapter underway.

The Producers: Robert Jones (Tuki) - diversification is key

Growing up in the Fleurieu Peninsula, Thomas Campbell (Thelma) was surrounded by food and produce, a lot of which stemmed from Greek Cypriot grandparents. After asking for a job at Adelaide’s Africola, the commercial food world opened before his eyes and soon enough he climbed the ranks in some of Britain’s and South Australia’s most forward-thinking venues. Now he’s on the verge of opening his own venue where produce shines and simplicity thrives.

He cut his teeth in Italy and London before finding a home in Melbourne where he has been an active part of the Italian food scene for over a decade. Now he has his own restaurant and he’s treating the menu and approach with a mindset that Australia is another region of Italy.
