Little Tuna & Galah …

Good to get a nice run in ‘Galah’ … an independent print magazine documenting regional Australia and the people who live there … with story and images of a small Cairns business “Little Tuna”.

Published three times a year and beautifully produced ‘Galah’ magazine is full of fascinating stories and beautiful photography from around rural and remote Australia … the ‘stuff’ that these days is otherwise forgotten by other media.

My contribution to the current issue is images to accompany a story on “Little Tuna” … a small locally operated far north Queensland seafood business founded by director Kate Lamason. The story is entitled “This Little Tuna Went to Market” and explains her mission to make in-roads into the almost exclusive sales of foreign fished and produced tuna with her bottled premium preserved tuna sourced from Australian waters.

The jars of 100 percent Australian wild line caught tuna steaks are available in four flavours … Olive Oil, Chilli in Olive Oil, Spring Water and Lemon Myrtle … either in store or online. Kate and her products have won several business awards … and she is one of the finalists in the Australian AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award with the winner announced in Parliament House in Canberra on Tuesday. Good Luck, Kate !

Sadly, ‘Galah’ chose not to include my very favourite image of Kate and a tuna amongst their published set … so I’m using that pic here below. Had some fun making Kate’s office rather ‘damp’ for the day.
