Bush to Belly
Australia is known for its coffee culture, you may not realise it until you go overseas and you can’t get a decent flat white to save your life but it’s true, we have one of the all-time biggest coffee-loving cultures on Earth, especially here in Sydney.
Even so, there would probably be a couple of places where even the most demanding connoisseurs would probably think fair enough if they can’t get their morning cappuccino with chocolate sprinkles, like the remote Yiyili community in Western Australia, but you’d be wrong.
A bunch of enterprising young kids and their teachers took it upon themselves to drag their Italian espresso machine onto the dusty Gibb River Rd, making coffees for 600 bike riders taking part in the 700 km Gibb challenge. It’s the subject of a documentary called Bush to Belly airing Wednesday 13 April on SBS
We joined the Principal of Yiyili Aboriginal Community School, Nick Try, to talk about this very interesting feat.
