UPCOMING EVENTS AT WORROWING
Melaleuca Art Exhibition: Incomplete Diorama by Taz Witkamp
Please join us as we welcome local Australian landscape artist Taz Witkamp to the Melaleuca gallery with Incomplete Diorama.
This latest body of work by Taz was inspired by the chaotic pockets of bushland which often go un-noticed, and challenges the viewer to consider the intricate landscapes we take for granted. She experiments with unharnessed lines and shapes, fresh from moment in time, making purposeful marks which echo her movements over the canvas.
These experimental new works were driven by a sense of urgency, to capture a world on the brink in the face of so much change. Frustrated by the perfection of AI, Taz chose to leave parts of the works raw and incomplete, to bring you something authentically human.
This body of work is a love letter to the South Coast, and a witness statement to a world changing from beneath her brush.
Exhibition runs from Wednesday 2nd of September 2026 to Saturday 10th of October 2026
Gallery opening hours:
Wednesday - Friday 10am-2pm
Saturday 9am-12pm
Please note some dates may be closed for private functions.

Melaleuca Art Exhibition- A Tapestry of Country by Tracey Van Oploo
Please join us as we launch our next exhibition at the Melaleuca Gallery
A Tapestry of Country is a personal interpretation of cultural identity, shaped by Aboriginal traditions and expressed through abstraction. Painted in acrylic on canvas, these works reflect the coastline Tracey calls home: the vibrant blue waters, the sandy beaches, and the rich, colourful native landscape beyond the shore.
For Tracey, family and Country cannot be separated. Each is a source of belonging, story, and strength, and each shape who she is. Through layered colour and flowing abstract forms, these paintings honour that deep connection and offer a contemporary way of seeing and sharing it.
The exhibition will run from Saturday 17th of October 2026 to Saturday 5th December 2026

From Ocean to Plate: Chefs & Fishermen Unite to Celebrate South Coast Seafood
A masterclass in sustainability, technique and seafood preparation. Featuring top chefs, Industry leaders and producers.
An immersive culinary event bringing together leading chefs, fishermen and producers to showcase the exceptional seafood, knowledge and craftsmanship of the NSW South Coast.
As Australia’s appetite for provenance and sustainable seafood continues to grow, the NSW South Coast will take centre stage this July with a unique culinary event celebrating the region’s extraordinary ocean-to-plate story. Hosted at the picturesque Worrowing Estate near Jervis Bay, the evening will bring together leading chefs, fishermen and producers for an immersive experience highlighting the remarkable seafood harvested from the waters just beyond the region’s shoreline.
From Southern Bluefin tuna and blue mackerel to premium sea urchin, wild abalone, turban snails and Sydney rock oysters, the waters along the South Coast produce some of Australia’s most prized seafood. Harvested by passionate local fishermen and divers who know these waters intimately, the region’s catch has become increasingly sought after by leading chefs and restaurants across the country.
The event will feature guest chefs Alex Prichard, formerly of Icebergs Dining Room and Bar, now Owner and Culinary Director of Sara Dining in Berry, Sean McCarthy of Season and Savour, and Jono Hall of Salted Butter, who will collaborate on a seafood-focused menu designed to showcase the purity and quality of South Coast produce. Together, the chefs will transform the region’s exceptional catch into a refined dining experience celebrating both the seafood itself and the people behind it.
At the heart of the evening are the fishermen and divers whose dedication brings some of Australia’s most sought-after seafood to the table. Guests will hear directly from Craig Lukey of Southeast Seafoods, Paul Lavalle of South Seas Tuna, Jaime Newman of Sydney Urchins, and Jase Finlay of Moonlight Oysters, who will share insight into their craft, the waters they work, and the unique marine environment that makes the South Coast one of Australia’s most remarkable seafood regions.
A highlight of the afternoon will be a live tuna breakdown and fish butchery demonstration led by Bosley McGee, former manager of Josh Niland’s Fish Butchery. The demonstration will offer guests a rare opportunity to witness the precision and respect required to break down premium seafood, while also sharing practical knowledge around selecting fresh fish, storing seafood correctly, and managing a catch from the moment it leaves the water through to preparation in the kitchen.
The experience will be complemented by a carefully curated beverage program featuring the team from Henry Clive, alongside Jaime Clark of Joval Wines, who will guide guests through thoughtful wine pairings designed to elevate the natural flavours of the seafood.
