The Reef’n’Beef Extravaganza has been running for an amazing nine years … serving up seafood and roast beef to a horde of a revellers in the (almost) middle of nowhere.<\/p>\n

As in other years, people trekked from all over the South Burnett – and places more distant – to join in the feast at the tiny Ironpot Hall, south-west of Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

When Reef’n’Beef began, it was confined to the hall but it quickly outgrew this space so marquees are now erected every year in front of the hall.<\/p>\n

The organisers of Reef\u2019n’Beef\u00a0are\u00a0Team Ironpot<\/a><\/strong>, a not-for-profit association that was formed by a group of motorcycling friends after the death of a mate, Dave Schmidt, during the 2008\u00a0Finke Desert Race near Alice Springs.<\/p>\n

Reef’n’Beef was created as a community fundraiser with money raised used to help associations in the Ironpot area.<\/p>\n

Team Ironport member\u00a0Sonya Henschen said on Saturday night that numbers were down a little on last year, but the organisers were still “very happy” with the bookings.<\/p>\n
