Building on the success of community-led workshops in Wentworth and Hatfield, Wentworth Shire Council is expanding on the popular Meat Masterclass series with two new free, full-day events this October. The series will visit Pooncarie on Saturday 11 October and hold a partnered regional session in Euston on Saturday 25 October.
Led by mobile butcher Andrew Gould (A.G. Home Butchery) and chef Evan Algate (Souvlaki Inn and Pavilions Bistro), the hands-on program covers butchery and smoking essentials. Participants will see demonstrations on breaking down sides of beef, sheep, and pork, receive sausage-making guidance, and learn practical tips for smoking brisket, with a focus on flavour, technique, and equipment set-up. The day includes meat tastings, and family activities with The Outback Mobile Resource Unit (OMRU) will be available from 10am-2pm at the Pooncarie session.
