2013 Loaves and Fishes Barbeque: South West Rocks

The annual mullet haul still draws a crowd in coastal towns. In some communities, like South West Rocks, commercial fishermen are working hard to rebuild the connection between the community and fishers by holding an annual Good Friday mullet BBQ. This event, known as the ‘loaves and fishes’, is well attended every year by the local community and includes displays on the historical importance of mullet to South West Rocks history. Proceeds from the day are donated to the local surf lifesaving club.
