Graça Machel Fundraiser at River Hawk Ranch
June 2023
In June Dame Graça Machel - international human rights advocate and the only woman to serve as First Lady in two countries, visited Australia for the first time and we were privileged to look after Graça and her team during their stay in the Northern Rivers.
A highlight was catering a fundraiser on Brunswick River where Hamish McLaughlin was the MC and Graça the guest of honor.
Working in collaboration with Shannon Bennett, Matt Stone and Alana Sapwell-Stone we delivered a shared feast for 120 people under the gums by the Brunswick River.
It was an incredibly special event to be part of.

The event came together with a vision from Brydie - stemming from the table scape of her dreams: she wanted olive trees to be seemingly growing up out of the tables, with a luxe neutral palette to surround.
The tables were topped by Bed Threads linens, neutral ceramics and the food was served on a local ceramist's creations and cake stands by Melissa Lellouche. Our table was surrounded by clusters of flowers by our friends at Nikau.
We paired with one of our favourite local caterers, Ode (formally One Green Acre) and Natural Order Wine to take the Spell x Wolfcub experience into a taste experience, finished off by vegan cakes by Vagabond.” ~ Spell

“Thank you Tom and Emma Lane for your beautiful home The Range Estates, a stunning oasis surrounded by macadamia groves.
