HUGE shoutout to everyone who has come on our “share the love” journey, it’s been a mammoth year. We started at The Last Hoot, went across to St. Falls Resort and now finishing with Frying Pan. We couldn’t do this without all the fantastic support of our community and Tawonga South Butchers, Lyn at the post office and Falls Creek Distillery.

All proceeds go towards the CFA training and equipment! We have already used these funds to add to our equipment this summer!
