Bayside gin lovers will be able to experience the best of the West with an award-winning Outback gin distillery partnering with Wynnum Fringe Festival.
In celebration of the Augathella Spiegeltent’s origins, Wynnum Fringe will work with a number of Outback providers to bring bush inspired experiences to the 2025 program.
Western Queensland Spirit, an Outback distillery based in Roma, will have a specially crafted Bush To The Bay Gin, an exclusive for the festival.
The distillery has most recently been the focus of international attention, taking a win for their gin at the prestigious London Spirits competition.
Western Queensland Spirit co-founder Will Fellowes said he was pleased to partner with Wynnum Fringe Festival and share a little slice of the Outback with Baysiders.
Advised Will, “All of our products celebrate the uniqueness of the Outback with each batch using native ingredients and a selection of native botanicals all grown on the distillery’s property.
“We’re very excited to have the opportunity to share authentic Outback flavours with our metro counterparts through the Wynnum Fringe Festival.”
Wynnum Fringe Festival founder, Tom Oliver, said their Bush to the Bay partnership program was a shining example of how events can bring people and products together from all corners of the state.
Said Tom, “The Wynnum community has avidly supported the festival’s journey and our vision to bring the Spiegeltent from Augathella to Brisbane.
“As part of that process, the Outback has a firm place in my heart and we’re keen to pay homage to the Spiegeltent’s origins at this year’s Fringe Festival.
“Our Bush to the Bay partnership program will see festival goers able to enjoy a range of Outback menu items utilising products sourced from the West.”
This year’s Wynnum Fringe Festival will be held from July 2nd – 20th. For more information and tickets, visit wynnumfringe.com.
