About The Aussie BBQ Company

Born and raised on a dairy farm in Millaa Millaa (Aboriginal for 'Land of many waterfalls'), North Queensland, Australia, Dwayne Watkin has brought his love of the outdoors into his business
'The Aussie BBQ Co Ltd'.

His first job, running his family's white water rafting and horse riding venture fired up his interest in cooking. “Our farm had it's own river” says Dwayne “the Beatrice River set deep in the rain forest. My parents ran a restaurant serving good old Australian home-cooked tucker, and the rafting and horse riding trips that I led included the odd BBQ!”

It was on one such trip that Dwayne met his British wife Jennet, and after a few years as a white water rafting river guide traveling the world the outdoor adventurer settled in rural Essex.

After a few restless years of 'normal' jobs, the couple decided to change their lives and recapture the enjoyment of their trail riding days (without the white water rafting obviously) and bring a bit of Australia to the Home Counties.

And lo, the 'Aussie BBQ Co. Ltd' was born!
