Ms THOMAS: As I am sure you all know, Macedon is home to some of the nation’s finest wines, beers, ciders and liqueurs—and now officially Australia’s best gin. From the hamlet of Newham comes Big Tree Distillery’s Elegant Dry Gin, which took out the first prize in the best classic Australian gin category at the World Gin Awards in London. The distillery uses the farm’s own rainwater as part of the distillation process and all ingredients are locally sourced. Congratulations to Gary Jago and Catherine Crothers on this incredible achievement.
