This year’s dinner celebrated the richness of Western Australia’s co‑operative produce, from the clear crystal water where rock lobsters are harvested to the flavour of the pastures where our lamb is raised. Executive Chef, Matt Lonne, created a bespoke menu for guests to savour the best that WA has to offer. The ILG Gin bar was as popular as ever.
