If your idea of roughing it includes sipping perfectly chilled white wine while nibbling buffalo rib beneath a sky full of stars get ready: James Viles is heading back to Bamurru Plains, and it’s going to be all kinds of delicious.

From 16 to 19 June 2025, the acclaimed chef (you know the one, Biota Dining, hats, sustainability, looks slightly like he forages for breakfast and then builds a fire using intuition and sea salt) is hosting his “Wild Tastes of the Top End” culinary safari, and it’s honestly the kind of foodie fever dream that would make even a city slicker weep gently into their turmeric latte.

Set in the gloriously remote Bamurru Plains which is basically luxury safari meets David Attenborough documentary, this four-day culinary love letter to the Northern Territory is all about embracing the wild.
