David, his wife Maria and their two sons have mapped out a journey around the continent with the purpose of capturing something fresh, unique and engaging.
Over a period of twelve months, David will tour the country with his family in a caravan. Whilst exploring and capturing the vibrant Australian food scene, David will connect with both leading chefs and pioneering producers in some of the most stunning locations on the planet – producing an exciting new cook book and engaging digital content.
