There are not many foods that have almost universal appeal, but bacon would have to be one of them.
So much so that the Queensland country region famed for producing bacon in many different varieties celebrates this feat with an annual Baconfest Festival.
Kingaroy in the South Burnett will become the hub for all things bacon related over the weekend of August 15 to 16, bringing with it a variety of country music performers and incredible food.
Local girl and country singer Amber Goldsmith is supporting headline act Troy Cassar-Daly for the main Saturday night concert. She tells us how excited she is to bring the region she loves to a bigger stage for more people to appreciate.
While Chief Baconeer Rob Fitz-Herbert tells us how the lure of the South Burnett converted this once city boy into an unabashed country man.
Yarning over the coals of a backyard fire in this chilly part of the world, he tells us why Baconfest is much more than eating fabulous food that’s produced in the region.
