100 Mile Challenge

Written By Cristy Houghton

On 30 October, 2011 five NSW regions competed in the inaugural 100 Mile Challenge, including the Riverina, Mid North Coast, South Coast, Southern Highlands and Central Ranges.

The event was launched as part of Crave Sydney International Food Festival, with individual events held in the five regions and culminating in Sydney with a gigantic cook off.

The aim of the 100 Mile Challenge was for each of the regions to create a three course meal using produce sourced from within a 100 mile (or 160km radius).

The Riverina team consisted of representatives from RDA-Riverina and TAFE NSW Riverina Institute – Wagga Wagga and Albury campus, working together to provide a sumptuous showcase of Riverina food and wine.
