This was AUSTRALIA'S MOST UNIQUE OUTBACK DINING EXPERIENCE and a BROLGA AWARD WINNER. 

Our aim was to show our guests a wonderful marriage of white and Indigenous cultures, through our delicious food, flavoured from our native bush. We sent your taste buds on a wild ride for the night. 

We were situated on the Gorge Road at Katherine's Top Didj Cultural Experience grounds, just behind the fantastic new Art Gallery at Top Didj.

Our last night was a 1922 Camp night and a Traditional Stockman's Dinner/Show, and a Tribute to all Australia's Camp Oven Outback Cooks who came before us.... where we took you back 100 years to "live" a bit of history.

Marksie's Camp Tucker used only the best Beef, and lots of organic vegetables, our Stew and Dampers are flavoured with Native Bush fruits, foods, herbs and spices, for a taste sensation.  You dined under the stars, around the campfire, while you enjoyed Marksie's wild, outrageous, true and not-so-true stories, and some even a little bawdy. What's that? - don't let the truth get in the way of a good story? My favourite was about emu nests! Now you can recreate the fun sitting round your own Camp Fire.  Marksie still says he is our own Hugh Jackman look alike? (Hope we meet Hugh, so we can check)

​

Sadly Marksie retired from cooking, end of 2022, so he has been working on his Ripper Yarn Books
